Theatres Fire Scares and Boston Opinions on Safety

A compiled mock news column notes false alarms at European theatres causing panic and lists safe egresssions in several Boston venues. It discusses the Vienna Ring theatre disaster tolls, public attitudes toward fire scenes, and urges calm self-possession to prevent disasters while voting on licensing and liquor. It adds satire on Paris and Chicago incidents and reviews recent books and plays.
