NEW YORK. Dec. 22.—Fire broke
out in the Herald Square theatre at
Thirty-fifth street and Broadway to
night ten minutes before the close
of the performance of “The Three
Twins" and before It was brought
tinder control had done considerable
damage to the building, had driven
the actor* and chorus girls Into the
streets in their scant costumes, and
had caused great commotion among
the theatre crowds on Broadway.
. . There was no panic and no one was
.^ injured, the audience remaining in
u> a*surm! ignorance of the fire until most of
them had passed Into the streets.
The fire caught from a large elec
tric sign on the front of the theatre
building and spread to the executive
7 offices which are opposite the second
gallery of the auditorium.
The actors cut the play short on
being told of the fire, and the cur
tain was lowered without any an
nouncement to the audience,
rrotrd Was Orderly.
The big crowd moved slowly out.
Most of them soon reached the
streets, hut some remained behind,
waiting for their wraps to be taken
from the coat room. As the flames
began to gain headway the theatre
employes urged the tardy ones to
hurry and told them then* was a fire
in the theatre. Some left without
waiting for their wraps and braveo
the driving snowstorm in their
evening clothes.
Alarm spread among the actors
and chorus and many of the young
women left tho building by the
stage entrance and went out Into the
storm without giving thought to
their scant and unconventional at
tire. With the temperature hovering
around the twenties und a fierce
wind driving the failing snow' Into
their faces th»‘ chorus girls beat a
hasty retreat for cove; at the Marl
borough hotel, a block further up
Broadway, where they were made
comfortable.
Probably $20,000 damage was
done to the theatre. A saloon and
cigar store next door were practic
ally destroyed.
