FIRE IN THEATRE

WELLINGTON AUDIENCE KEEPS (ALM (P.A.) Wellington. March 12. Without panic, the large audience at the Princess Thearte left calmly last night when, about 20 minutes before the end of the screening, the film in the ,project ion machine broke and caught fire. The automatic .safety devices worked, shutters closing over the ports in the booth to isolate it from the theatre and bells ringing. The fireman made an announcement to the audience, and the people were ushered out of the theaire. Although Ihe power supply was interrupted, sufficient light was provide by the emergency system for the audience fo see its way out. A hose quickly subdued the fire, but the booth was completely burnt out, and the plant either destroyed or severely damaged. The rest of the building was damaged by water only.
