Danger Where Crowds Gather
m The Montreal movie tragedy brings a - sharp
reminder of the danger which lurks '•where crowds
assemble, particularly within a building from which
the means of exit are necessarily limited. Such
tragedies are not peculiar to any one period or any
one country. They have been occurring for many
years and in many far separated localities. Where-
ever civilization has developed an indoor theatre
the possibility of them exists.
Each such tragedy in the past has served as
the object lesson for reforms in the conduct of amuse
ment places which have greatly minimized the haz
ards involved. Halls and theatres are generally
better built, they are better provided with exists,
they are better equipped with safety appliances for
the prevention of fires. They undoubtedly, in
America at least and probably most of Europe,
much safer places than hitherto.
,
But there is one element of risk which no
amount of building regulation can apparently over
come. It is the element of human fear. The most
deplorable feature of most of these tragedies is the
fact that the deaths caused were due generally to
the panic rather than the cause of i t In this latest
the victims were nearly all youths or children who
smothered when wedged in a stairway. But age
seems to be no guaranty of sanity when fear seizes
the crowd. Adult audiences axe not exceptions to
the general rule. The Iriquois theatre fire in Chi
cago is still near enough to us to present the ex
ample of the awfulness of a panic among grown-ups.
Beethoven— Popular Song W riter
So old Ludwig Van Beethoven was a popular
song writer was he, the Irving Berlin of the nine
teenth century’s prototype for the twentieth cen
tury's tin pan alley?
It is something like that that at least which we are
saying of him to give Jt popular fillip to the cele
bration of the old music master’s centenary which
comes next spring. Frederick Freemantle, secretary
of the memorial committee, says songs which have
lain forgotten and unsung these past 50 years are to
be revived to give expression on this occasion to a
side of Beethoven’s life which has beep eclipsed by
his fame as a .composer of great classical master
pieces.
“ Songs I do not like to write,” Beethoven is
quoted as having once said. But he did write
them, 80 all told, according to the committee, for
one reason or another. To earn money perhaps or
to oblige a friend or patron or to give expression
to some light whimsey which might not be per
mitted in those grand orchestral oom positions where
liig genius shines brightest. It is said of him that
he lacked appreciation of the great possibilities of
the human voice and hence did not put into his vocal
compositions the greatness which is displayed in
his instrumental works.
It will be interesting to hear these old songs
revived, to realize that the deaf old gentleman who
wae the perfect workman of his trade did not dwell
always on the mountain tops of music but could
unbend to do something which might be calculated
to tickle the popular fancy of the time.
Expert economists have declared that the in
stallment plan is sound, henoe we may expect to
see a falling off in installment buying.
In Italy, comedians are not permitted to make
jokes about the army. It appears that over there
even a second lieutenant is taken seriously.
Laws are supposed to represent the will of the
people, hut too often they represent the will of the
wrong crowd.
There are still a few left who can remember
when there was no Muscle Shoals problem before the
CoBgress.
Honesty is the beet policy, even though it is
the most exjiensive.
