& The Pearl Theater, Hutchinson, Kansas, was badly damaged
by a fire recently which broke out in a pile of rubbish
while the house was being redecorated and remodeled. The
rear of the building was completely destroyed and
the stage setting, fixtures, chairs, etc., were consumed in a fire
which raged for an hour before it could be stopped.
Manager Featherby and his family have apartments above
the theater and he had a narrow escape in rescuing
his wife.

to get in front of the camera so they would be in the picture.
