two other parts of the feature. The
operator Immediately closed the door
to the operating room and the fire was
soon out with the aid of the chemical
engine. The theatre was emptied in
short order and it was demonstrated
beyond a doubt that the operating room
is fire proof and that there is practical
ly no danger from that source. There
was plenty of room to get out, there
being two exits on the side and one IN
front. The machine will probably be a
total loss and the three films burned
were valued at $125 each. Mr.. Bianci
had another machine ready for Satur-
day afternoon and gave free matinee.
