Fire which probably originated from an electric spark or an overheated film caused the loss of the film which as being shown last evening and for a few moments caused a stampede among the patrons of that place.
Manager Finlay and his operator were in the operating room at the time and at the first flash of the flames all doors and windows in the ?? automatically closed and the flames were confined therein.
The fire was extinguished within a few minutes and about the only loss was the destruction of the film and the smoking up of the booth and its contents.
There will be no change in today’s program or a postponement of the same according to the management.
