700 Lose Lives in Theatre Fire
Seven hundred lives were lost in the most appalling conflagration that ever occurred in recent years in Manchuria, when during a New Year’s celebration in a theatre on February 14, a crowd of 1,500 persons were trapped in a burning theatre.
Fire broke out at 7:50 p.m., Saturday evening, and before it was under control, it destroyed more than thirty houses in the neighborhood. Half of the victims were women and children.
