Converted to sound early on. Found a 1929 reference to Helen Twelvetrees in “The Ghost Talks”.

On March 30, 1907, the Dreamland Theatre closed its doors for a short period of time due to the Dreamland Theatre being partially destroyed by a fire caused by the projector’s split celluloid film, which throws the pictures on the canvass. The projector and several thousand feet of film were destroyed. The fire occurred during a showing of the film entitled “Midnight Alarm”. No major injuries or deaths were reported, but only one young man of Delaware suffered bad burns while trying to extinguish the flames, saving the films. All citizens escaped the theater with the 2 exits. A small room has been constructed just over the entrance where the machine is operated. The little room is lined with asbestos and metal which preventing the woodwork from catching the theater on fire. The theater reopened later the following April.
