The theatre waa practically new, having been opened only a few Weeka prevtoue to tha fire. .. i 1 1 ..tut rt whlnh , inr wb .' - iad been running there since tha open ing night. It la believed! that aparka from one of the apotllghta stationed on the aides of the stage Ignited aome of .tha fiimav niecea of scenery In tha wings and In a few momenta theblase apread upwards toward the fllee. Some of the actora and employee tried to ' beat out the flamea hut did not succeed, and the aignal waa given to drop the fireproof curtain. Owing to the.fect that a rope, with which the "aerlaf ballet" waa ma nipulated, had been ao faatened mat it obstructed the movementa of the cur tain, tha latter could not be lowered for aome time. When It waa finally released the fire had made auch progress on the stage that the employes became ' panic stricken snd opened the large double door tn the rear of the atage and lead ing to the court behind -the theatre, through which the ecenery waa brought into and out of tha theatre. Tha terrlflo draft caused the "fireproof" . curtain, a thin and flimsy affair, to bulge out Into the houae. and In a few mlnutea It tore and fell, and immense volumej of smoke and flames poured Into the auditorium.

Tha situ . atlon waa greatly aggravated by the fact that the ushers, thtli&tng only of their own aafety, had fled . for their Uvea, without StODDinc lonar enough to unlock and unbolt tha aafety exlta provided for on every floor. The spectatora. finding tha aafety exlta bolted and locked, were compelled to maka their exit through the main exlta on tha Randolph street side. Why crowded around these exits dur ing the Jam they were overpowered by the smoke and flamea and perished. Only a few escaped over tha fire ee- nm. which thev reached from the Mi- cony. .The fire, was soon under control. At first it waa not thought that tha loas of Uvea had been great, and tha full extent of tha disaster waa not realised .. until the firemen reached; the upper floors of tha house, where they found .'. the dead piled op' six or eight high, all headed for tha exlta, and those on top terribly burned.
