Building Safely-Loss Is
About $4,000.

TUCSON, May 23.-Fire to-
might completely destroyed the
Tucson opera house, entailing a
loss estimated at $4,000. The
house was being operated as a
motion picture theater, and one
of the chief items of loss was the
films destroyed, which were
worth several thousand dollars.
The fire started in the operat-
ing room at 8:15 p. m. The op-
orator was using a small incan-
descent globe in the machine to
facilitate the shifting of his
frame. The globe broke and an
electric spark ignited the film.
In a moment the celluloid film
blazed up, and the fire spread
with astonishing rapidity. The
operator, in trying to avert the
disaster, and later in attempting
to save some of the films, was
quite severely burned.
