"MOVEY' MEN GUARD
AGAINST THEATRE FIRES

Owners Of moving picture theatre
are taking seriously the suggestions
made by Chairman Conner of the fire
committee Of Council, and several Of
them have already taken steps to
avert possible panic in case Of fire
by educating the public to the neces-
sity of keeping their presence of mind
in case of fire.
One moving picture manager had
four plates made, which he has order
ed thrown upon the screen in his
theatre at regular intervals. One
calls attention to the location of the
fire exits Another warns the people
of the danger of panic and others con-
tain advice TO be followed should an
emergency arise.
The management of another picture
house has compiled a unique set of
rules for the patrons Of his place.
They are:
"A reward of $25 is offered:
Il. For any person who tries to
start panic by hollering fire.
20. If persons would only think
there never, or seldom, could be any
damage done before you could walk
out quietly either back or front
"3. All persons are required to
take part in a fire drill at least one
a month or whenever we see it, espec-
tally when we have a fire scene on
the screen.
"A. All men are requested to give
all the assistance that they can when
they hear the bell ring or any sign
of FIRE
So There is more damage done by
men and boys running and jumpins
on children or women than any othei
way.
&c. There IS never as much damage
done by fire as there is by running
over each other foolishly.
81. Every man or boy that volun
teers to help in every way to get tn,
people out safely will get a reward
of IS. but be sure to grab the persoT
who starts the panic or acts disor
derly.
IS. We make no rewards after bu
before.
80. Every stranger is requested Il
read these notices before entering.
10. So everybody be on the look
out for such persons. two cases on
of ten there never is a fire onl.
someone excited"
