Excerpt from On the Safeguarding of Life in Theaters: Being a Study From the Standpoint of an Engineer I have seen here in New York, in a recent theater, a case where the inspector had, perhaps temporarily, forgotten the wording of the law and figured it on the area directly in behind the curtain, omitting much of the floor space at the sides. This is wrong be cause, given a large stage, there is a well-proved tendency to per mit an unnecessarily large amount of combustible material upon it, and it not infrequently happens that the scenery of next week's new attraction may be found stored at the side and rear during the Saturday night performance. I was earnestly desirous of making some practical tests in the Iroquois, for the additional flames could have caused no Injury beyond that already wrought, and the practical demonstration which I am confident would have been given regarding the efficiency of automatic sprinklers and proper smoke vents would have hastened their general introduction. Of course such tests would have been made under greatest precautions and with city fire department at hand in force, but while many of the most important interests readily consented a few of those owning surrounding property objected.
