and a dozen women tainted and had to be
carried out, but no one was seriously in
jured and much of the building was saved
from destruction. Every one Of the 1900
seats in the theater was occupied. Louch
saw smoke issuing from the floor OF the
gallery and sent I'm a still alarm. He
reached the rear of the stage before the
audience was advised OF the hanger and
speaking just loud enough for the actors
to hear, appealed to them to continue.
Then he stepped to the front, asked the
audience to retire, giving them to under
stand that the fire was in an adjoining
structure. No one tried TO crowd until
smoke began to fill the building. Then a
crush began. The fire department saved
scores from jumping from the thlrd-story
