The BOyertOwn Theatre horror
suggests the thought that Smyrna
might take heed and provide proper
exits so badly needed at the SMYRNA
Opera House. Several years ago
following the Iriquois Theatre
disaster at Chicago, our Town
Council discussed the question at
length and went so far as to have
Councilman Wright submit esti-
mates for building a fire escape on
the west side of the building lead
ing TO the jail yard The plan was
to have a platform along the win
dows by which in case Of a fire
alarm escape would be made easy.
The subject ended in discussion
and nothing more has been said or
done with regard to the matter.
1t would seem timely to revive the
agitation. In case of a fire or panic
there IS no telling how horrible the
results might be, at our Opera
House. The only two means of
exit are the front stairway bv no
means quick and easy of access and
the little narrow stairway leading
from the stage. Neither is the
Seat,og arrangement conductive to
an easy escape. The aisles are
exceedingly narrow and in case of
rush the people would be obliged
to fall over benches punched in all
kinds Of ways before they could
get to the door This would prob
ably mean broken legs and arms in
the event Of a stampede. It is well
enough to take ever necessary
precautiOn. 1t would be a matter
OF comparatively small expense to
bull a platform along the windows
on the west side with easy stairwavs
at each end. OF course there is
no reason to think that a fire will
ever take place at the SMYRNA
Opera House. Our lighting system
instead Of being primitive is up-to-
date IN every particular. Lamps
are rarely used in the building and
no danger from this source is ap-
parent, still it is wise to take
protection, and we would urge upon
Council to provide wider aisles and
an easy and convenient fire escape
for the protection of the public.
The BoyertOwn horror only i'm
presses the subject closer upon the
minds Of the people and it is we'll
to take heed lest we too might be
caught in such a trap.
