DREAM THEATRE NARROWLY
 ESCAPES DESTRUCTION

Nomes business section narrowly escaped destruction Wednesday ev- ening when fire broke out in the projecting room of the Dream Theatre consuming several reels of film and completely gutting the projecting room.
 With a high wind and snow storm blowing. the flames shot almost across the street. The quick action of the Nome Fire Department un doubtedly saved the entire block.
 The total extent of the damage is, Of course. not yet known. but Manager B. w. Nelly says that the projecting machines are not dam aged beyond repair. and that there are plenty of spare parts in stock to repair them as good as new. The damage to the building is all so comparatively slight, in compar- ison with the appearance of the blaze when first seen. He hopes
 
 and the building and have the city's most popular place of amuse- ment and diversion running full blast again within ten days. The greatest difficulty to over come, Mir Nelly says. is to replace the mercury arc rectifiers, which Il in the projectors from alternating to direct current. Both rectifiers were broken. and their repair is extremely doubtful, but some make shift will be found, he says, to over come this.
 | The fire broke out just about show time, and there were some twenty-five Or thirty people already in the theatre with the evenings crowd commencing to arrive in large numbers. but no one was in iured in clearing the theatre. The origin of the fire is unknown.
 It is as yet impossible to estimate the loss, MT. Nelly says, until a more complete survey i$ made of | the premises. There was no in surance carried. and the loss is a dead one, but MT. Nelly. being a seasoned sourdough. is able to joke about it and says he will have the show going again as soon as pos sible for the entertainment of the | Nome movie fans
