Would Destroy Theater Fire Plan Found at Orpheon
Chicago police say a well arranged plot to destroy the Orpheon Theatre building on Washington Street was uncovered after midnight. Assistant Fire Marshal Coran and his men found evidence of incendiarism on the fourth floor where offices operated by the music hall company were located. An explosion-like sound drew pedestrians and alerted the fire department before the theater could be filled with patrons, a disaster avoided by the late discovery and the theatre being closed at the time. The incident will be thoroughly investigated.
