FIRE AT PALACE BUT
 USUAL SHOW TONIGHT

A short circuit in the wires con meeting the proscenium lights at the Palace Theatre ignited the grand drapery on the stage and caused a fire at noon today Employees of the theatre saw the start of the fire and turned in the alarm and attacked it themselves with extinguishers.
 The drapery and other decora tions smoldered for time and were finally extinguished by chemicals by the firemen who were on the scene in a few few minutes after the alarm was sent in.
 The damage is nominal and is con. fined only to hanging decorations and the show will in no way be in. terfered with, being on the same as usual tonight. There was little dan ger at any time of a serious fire as the building is all concrete and as nearly fireproof as possible.
