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. DECRIED BY BLACK NUW YOHK.
