AFFAIR AT QUEEN'S THEATRE
I DYNAMO TAMPERED WITH. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, January 6. An attempt was made yesterday to destroy the electrical plant at the Queen's Theatre. The theatre, as usual, had been darkened while the programme was screened, but a start had hardly been made when it was noticed that the current was short-circuited. The machinery was immediately stopped, the manager explaining to the house that it would be necessary to make an examination of the plant before proceeding. The investigation revealed that a piece of iron wire had been twisted round one of the brushes of the dynamos, and pushed into the machine in such a manner as to cause serious damage. It was only by the greatest good luck that the machine was not entirely destroyed.
