Quilted. taking with II several thousand
seats which had been stored there,
numerous fiys, drops, props and other
curtains and the floor OF the stage.
The heating plant which Is situated
to the east and protected by a fire
wall, was untouched.
Asbestos Saves Building.
The asbestos curtain at the front
of the stage saved the front part of the
theatre from destruction. The cur
tain remained up until the loft col
lapsed when it was carried down with
the debris Although the department
exercised considerable care, water ran
into the newly laid roller skating
floor, constructed of hard maple and
laid at a cost of $500 The water
was quickly swept off with brooms and
it is not known as yet whether it viii
be damaged beyond repair.
Painters yesterday practically finish
ed redecorating the entire interior Of
the theatre from end to end. All Of
this paint was blistered or smoked and
! in places the plastering fell off. 1t IS
feared that the entire interior will have
to be replastered. Mr.. Dolly and his
partner, Fred J. Mueller, had planned
TO open the new roller rink on Mon
/ day and arrangements had been prac-
/ ticaIly completed. Those who saw the
! interior yesterday, pronounced 1t
J beautiful
| Mr.. Couch had arranged his ice
cream parIor in the southwest corner
! of the room and placed eight new
! tables. All were scorched. The skate
room had been placed in the southeast
corner of the room.
! Chief Newberry and his men cannot
( be too highly commended for their
valiant work in getting the blaze under
control within Is minutes. This block
/ is closely built with non-fire proof
| buildings and there was an excellent
chance for a conf1agration of huge pro-
portions. Across the alley is situated
a livery barn with a loft full of hay, a
/ bakery is at the east and also a garage
, with its gasoline tanks, as is the case
to the west, where Motor Row with its
numerous automobiles, is situated.
To Rebuild at Once.
! Mr.. Dolly stated this morning that
as quickly as the fire adjusters had
completed their task, work would be
started to rebuild the theatre exactly
as it was before the fire. He eX-
planned that the loss would be fully
covered by insurance, with the pos
sible exception of the newly laid floor
should it be damaged.
+ uTulSniHSS Oh the IdLuIIleS WHO re-
side in the fats in front of the theatre
were not damaged to any extent.
The blaze last night was the largest
since the Watch Tower inn fire, Aug
l, 1915. The operators at the Central
Union telephone office were deluged
with calls during the time of the fire
some coming from Davenport and Mo-
line.
Chief Newberry stated this morning
that in his opinion the blaze was start
ed at the base of the stage by spon-
taneous combustion, possibly from an
oiled rag. The wiring at the theatre
was Of the very latest type and had
been recently inspected so the fire is
not attributed TO defective wiring or
crossed wires. The loft which burned
was constructed of wood and CORFU
gated iron
