h IN MOVIE THEATER
Presence Of Mind Of Several
Men Saves Audience When
Explosion Starts Fire. :

Panic seized an audience of 200 people,
mostly women and children, in the Peo-
Pies Motion Picture Theater. on the
second floor Of the Potts Building at
Mt Rainier. Nd. last night. when .
film exploded. filled the place with
dense clouds Of smoke. and started fire
in the rear Of the place.
A glare of fame from the operators
room, directly over the entrance to the
theater, where the explosion occurred,
struck terror in the ranks OF those who
but . second before had been silently
watching the actors and actresses go
Ing through their parts on the screen.
Only the presence Of mind of several
men in the audience averted what might
have been another theater tragedy.
Operator James McKeller was the only
person hurt. He jumped from the front
window. a distance Of fifteen feet. after
being badly burned about the hands In
q futile attempt u extinguish the
flames.
Many of the women and children in
their fright ran about in the darkened
and smoke-filled room Some went to
the windows. but here several men had
stationed themselves, and bade the pan
icky ones to be calm. Hardly a minute
elapsed when order was restored, and
the audience filed slowly out Of the
building.
The flames were extinguished before
Ehe fire department apparatus arrived
Damage to the building is estimated at
500. The stock Of Hanlon's drySoods
store, on the first moor of the structure,
was damaged to the extent OF 800.
