What reading level is Theatres; Their Safety From Fire And Panic, Their Comfort And Healthfulness book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The danger is aggravated by the fact now well known to many theatre visitors that it requires but very few minutes in a burning building for the smoke and fire-gases to suffocate people. This ex- plains the terror, the wild fright, the haste and confusion, the loss of both courage and pres- ence of mind, the dangerous stampedes, the mad struggles at the exit-doors, the trampling to death, and the jam following a panic. In such dire moments the instinct of self-pres- ervation often drives people... even to kill one another. Many of the older theatres have in- sufficient stairs, exits, and passages, and the result is that feeble or frightened persons may, in case of a sudden rush, stumble or fall when 48 THEATRE BUILDINGS. Pushed, and cause those who follow them to fall over them. To say that there are no measures which will effectively prevent a panic is not correct. In my judgment, much can be done to prevent dangerous panics by giving the audience a feel- ing of security, and this they are bound to get, at least in some measure, when they know that the theatre is well planned and that there are at all times available plenty of wide, free, and unobstructed exits and fire-stairs, enabling the entire emptying of the theatre in less than four minutes ; when they know and see that over- crowding and obstruction in the aisles are not tolerated, that the management does not sell a larger number of tickets of admittance than the theatre license permits, that no standing-room or camp-chairs in the aisles are permitted ; when they are kept informed of the systematic and periodic inspections, and are told that there are nightly fire watches, particularly when dangerous spectacular plays are given ; that the attendants are instructed in their du- ties in case of fire, and that there are frequent fire-drills.
