Itinerants May Have Set Fire in Old Orpheum Theater The raging three-alarm blaze "which nearly completed the "demolition of the old 12th St. 'Orpheum Theater, a relic of - Oakland's gas light era, early yesterday may have been set by itinerants sheltering in the building. I This was one theory advanced today by Fire Chief J. . J. Sweeney. The blaze might also have been caused by care- - lessness by workers razing the " building or by youths who played in it, he said. The fire fought by 75 firemen for more than an hour - forced evacuation of the top three floors of the 12-story I Athens Athletic Club, destroy- ed the upper two floors and , the roof of the old Adams Hotel on the other side of the '. blaze, and showered the down- town area with flaming cin- - ders. I The Orpheum, later the Fol-; lies, still later a Federal The-ater Project showhouse and, in recent years, a furniture storehouse, was being razed to ; make way for a parking lot. It ; was one of Oakland's links - with the days of Eva Tanguay ; end Lily Langtry, dazzling stars of the Orpheum Circuit. For two decades after its opening in 1907. it was the city's principal legitimate stage and vaudeville theater. An audience of hundreds was attracted to the Orpheum's last show, which began with a one-alarm curtain call at 1:30 a.m. and had raged into a fierce three-alarmer in just seven minutes. As the blaze sent flames licking at the eighth-floor of the Athens Club, Battalion Chief Robert Costa ordered the top floors of the exclusive social and athletic club evacuated. Some residents fled to the street in their pajamas. Half a million gallons of water were poured on the theater structure at 537 12th St. and firemen sent water shooting on the flames from the adjacent Athens Club on Clay St. between 12th and 13th. Decision to tear down the building was made last March. The site is to be used for parking. 6 Burn to Death In Tenement Blaxe NEWARK, N.J., May 26-Un Fire crackled through a three-story tenement today and six tenants burned to death in the charred building.
