was crowded with after-theater diners
There was q bit of excitement for a
moment, but Mr.. Levy quickly reas-

The fire, which started in the store

was of unknown origin. 1t had OBJ
tanned a dangerous Roadway by the
time the firemen arrived, but was
quickly under control and in an hour
was extinguished.
1t was an especially hard fire to fight

most impossible for the firemen to
reach the seat of the blaze.
Two lines of hose were run into the
rear of the building and the barred
doors and windows were forced ana
tons of water poured into the place,
drowning out the stubborn blaze.
