At ll hearing at the State House 011
Senate Bill No. Hill. the spellki'rs with

dwell upon the protection of property
as the "all important." The protec-
tion of lilo scouted to be of second-
ry consideration.
Now, Mr. Mayor. 1 know you will
Hzree with me that life and limb
should be the first to be considered,
and that eu-ry good idea or device
ed when found practicable.
in my connection with the Fire
Sk‘l'VlCe for a great many years, I
have had an opportunity to observe
what a simple little thing will
cause an audience in a theatre to
become panic-stricken, often with
serious results. only last spring at a
prominent theatre in Baston, a very
serious panic was started by a rat in
the upper balcony. which was seen
by a. woman. who began to scream.
The audience. who thoultllt it was a
fire rose en moose and rushed for the
doors. The orchestra immediately
started playing which brought the
people back to their senses but it
was over twenty minutes before the
audience was quieted so that the per»
formance could proceed. i could
mention incidents of the show na.
ture, which have occurred in most
of the theatres in Boston. and in ev-
ery case the audience was brought
back to sanity by the effect of music.
and the sight of the musicians piny-
lng, which inspired confidence in the
people, and make them feel that
there was no cause for alarm.
l have been told bf’musicians that
it is an unwritten law for tlfeln to
immediately start playing at the first
signs of excitement of panic, and that
they are at all times prepared with
a piece of music. memorized. to play
in these cases of emergency. The
brave musicians who went down with
the Titanic were only observing this
unwritten law.
Mr. Mayor, I believe that an or-
chestra of musicians in a theatre is
an absolute necessity for the protec-
tino of the public in case of panic.
Boston at a performance where they
used a cathedral gong to announce
the rise of the curtain. Imagine
what might happen in that theatre
if some one shouted “Fire!" and this
gong were used to quiet the audience
Could there be anything mOro out
of place?
I have witnessed the efforts of em-
ployee and actors calling on the peo—'
le to sit down. as there was no dan-
ger, which only seemed to increase
the alarm and arouse more excite-
ment. but at the first sound of music
the effect was like magic in quietlng
the audience.
I hear that there is another music
