The Moving Picture World (1907)

THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD. 649 A visit was then paid to the Unique Theater on Public Square. Here it was found that the canvas screen extended all the way across the rear of the room. Narrow stairs, about a foot wide, lead up 7 to either side of the platform on which the screen was placed. Red lights were over them, but no exit signs. In order to reach the outside doors it was necessary for the inspector to crav.-l through a doorway leading to a space back of die piano pit and beneath the platform and then climb a ladder-through a narrow trap door to get to the outside door. Here it was found that the screen was only of muslin and that it was tacked to a wooden framework, and no doors were provided at all, and if the occasion arises by reason of which people must leave in a hurry they will be expected to crowd Up this narrow stairway, burst through the screen and then make their way out through the big double doors which exist in the rear of the screen. The management was informed that it would have to provide for doors through the screen, as originally called for; that the rear doors must be left unlocked during performances, and that signs showing the place of exit must be provided. The building inspector is determined that what regulations there are concerning these places must be respected and lived up to, as the danger if a panic should break out would be great even under the strictest enforcement of the present laws.
