The'play was in Yiddish and audience. comprising for the most part women and children, were all Hebrews. The hall stands in the center of a district densely populated by Jews. The play was nearly over when the cry which caused the panic was raised and within five seconds after it rang out through the hall ihe entire audience was converted into a frantic mob. every member of which was fighting for the safety which lay beyond the doors of the building. The hall is frequently used for dances and when a theatrical perfomrnce igiven chairs are plced for the spectators. As scon as the wild rtt-h toward the dobrs began, chairs were knocked donwn in every direction, the aisles di-appeared and the excited people ran. climbed and stumbled over the chair? in their way toward the doors.

The railing of the balcony was broken thratgh in half a doztn places by the pressure brought against it by the maddenel crowd. On the main floor the crush was much wor e than in the balcony.
