Roger Frappler, 13, escaped by | jumping from the balcony to the low- er floor. “There were several men shouting that everybody remain seated and there were some ushers trying to keep the people quiet,” he said. “But there were others who stood up and hollered ‘Fire! Fire! and told us to get out quick.” Frappier sald he saw “terrible sights” in the balcony before he made his leap to safety. He was consider- ably unnerved, the main picture' re- maining with him being that of a mother attempting to fight .her way out through the crowd with a baby in her arms. FIRE STARTS PANIC. .
