Art Peters, manager, said Wed
nesday. The eating establishment, which
is adjacent to the Capitol Thea
ter, will be closed for about 10
days, Peters said, while the en
tire interior is redecorated.
Firemen believed the blaze
discovered by three policemen
started in or near the kitchen
range and swept up a ventilator
shaft which led to the root
A woman's lounge above the
kitchen on a second floor balcony
was ruined by flames and walls
were charred. Some dishes and
food stuff were also destroyed,
said Peters. Smoke and water
damage was considerable. -
All downtown fire equipment
