Fire disaster prompts closures of public halls in Chicago
Following the Iroquois Theatre blaze that killed 590, Chicago authorities order closing all public halls and similar venues until inspections confirm compliance with building codes. The Iroquois Fire Inspector Fulkerson attributes the cause to a linen curtain near a hot floodlight, a blocked fire shield path, and failed skylights. He notes exits were inadequate and vows to fix responsibility.
