Description
A part of the crowd that gathered on West Seventh late Sunday afternoon as an audience in the Worth Theater moved in orderly fashion from exits after smoke from a small fire in the basement of the building had filtered into the main theater. It was only a single alarm fire and the blaze was extinguished in a few minutes and the firemen, working in masks much of the time, had completed mopping up water and tapped out the spectacular downtown call 26 minutes after the alarm was turned in at 6:33 p.m. Overhead photograph of a crowd standing on the street in front of buildings. Published in The Fort Worth Star-Telegram Morning Edition July 30, 1945.
