From The New York Times -- August 28, 1911 THEATRE DEATHS DUE TO NARROW STAIRS

"A small boy shouted “Fire!” at the same time starting for the narrow exit to the stairs. Bolus Dubrowski, a polish miner and a giant in size, jumped from his seat and ran for the same door. In a moment there was a fighting throng from the audience on his heels. At the head of the narrow stairway which lead to the street the miner tripped. As he rolled down the steps he swept others from their feet, who were waiting their turn to enter the theatre, and soon there was a pile of persons at the foot of the stairs fighting like madmen to get out."
