"Fire" late today and in the ensuing
panic six tots, between the ages Of
two and ten years were trampled ts

injured. The little theater wa:
crowded to capacity, children filled
most of the 400 seats, for the hero
of the picture was an Italian lad who
rose from humble surroundings like
theirs to riches and fame.
The youngsters were absorbed in
