SOY THEATRE MENACED BY Gs Fumes Poured Into House In Have Blown the Structure «ito Bits. y * EVENING PERFORMANCE HAD TO BE DECLARED OFF, Leak Finally Located in a Near-By Main and Workmen Are at Once Set to Re- pairing It. ‘Workmen are engaged in front of the Bavoy Theatre to-day repairing the feaky gas main so the performance of “Glad of It may be given at the ti atre as usual to-night. Last night's performance was declared off because the theatre was so filled with gas that ft was impossible for any one to stay fn the house. Bmployees of the theatre smelled gas all day long, and. frequent searches ‘were made for the leak, but without Success, Finally, at 3 o'clock, ‘was so much gas in the theatre that District Battalion Fire Chief Duane, stationed at the house of ‘Truck No. 24, directly in the rear of the theatre, was notified that the managers of the the- atre feared that an explosion might | take place. 7 Chief Duane went around with two | or three of his men. He found the the- | «. a@tre so filled with gas that the scratch of_a match would have been sufficient to “blow it to atoms. quired extreme caution. “Bee that no one lights a match or €omes around here smoking a cigarette ora cigar. A spark of fire may send tus all to kingdom come," he said. The situation for the men in the the- Btre was thrilling in the extreme. They groped about in the dark searching for the leak with nothing to guide them except the senso-of smell. ‘They were oppressed by the fear that perhaps some one might wander into .the theatre with a spark of fire and blow the place to atoms. The danger increased as the time drew near for the performers in the company to arrive. They would need lights in their dress- ing-rooms, and some of the men might wet into the theatre with a lighted cigar or cigarette before they could be warned, All this time the gas was growing in volume and the danger was igcreasing. Chief Duane finally made up his mind that the leak was on the outside of the theatre, probably in a main, and was pouring into the building by following & water pipe or something of that sort. The gas company was notified and workmen were at once sent to investi- tie, The main was found to-be broken, 8 the ground was frozea and had to be thawed there was no chance of repairing it In time to permit the even- Ing performance to be given, Accord. ingly the play for the night was de- clared off and money was refunded at the box-oMice, It was Announced that Miss Millie James was Ill, And she was Ill, for she was in her dressing-room long enough for the gas to give her a headache.
