years. Miss Cameron will sing her ia

NO DANGER HERE
Manager. Of Moving Picture Shows
Claim Chief crokers Statement as
4 Applying to Some Cheap Concerns
Is Not Applicable in This City.

Following upon the Boyertown. Pa.
holocaust, where, during an amateur
performance in a second floor play
house, ITO people were killed as re-
suit of a fire, Chief Croker, Of the
New York fire department, in an In
terview yesterday to the Associated
Press. called attention to what he
claimed was danger from moving pic
ture machines.
This statement is not altogether fair
to managers Of all moving picture
theaters, and in it's strictest sense
Chief Crokers statement is incorrect.
There is no danger from the machine
itself, but from explosions where gas :
oline Is used In the buildings to gen.
crate the electricity used in operating
the machines.
Local managers of moving picture
shows take exception to such a broad
cast statement on the part OF the New
York fire chief, which was given prom
inence in all the large evening papers
of the United States yesterday. They
say that the only possible fire that
could result from machine itself
would be for film to catch fire. AS
the films burn like SO much celluloid,
it would probably never result In any
thing more than the destruction OF
the film itself. Even this contingency,
however, is met with only rarely.
All Of the picture shows here use
electricity, and none of them has any
gasoline in the building it occupies.
Two of the houses use the current sup
piled by the Marshalltown Light Pow
err & Railway Company, and the other
generates from it's own plant. The
gasoline used for generating pur-
poses, however, is in a separate build
ing, and If the tank should explode 1t
could do nothing more than destroy
the building in which it is situated,
and could not possibly cause any fire
in the theater proper.
