February 2, 1937 - Chicago Tribune
A Chicago woman has been interested in seeing the current performance of "Jane Eyre" because, on the night when the great Chicago fire Jane Eyre started, her mother was appearing in an amateur performance of " Jane Eyre" in a hall on De Koven street, near the point of the fire's origin. The Chicago woman is Mrs. Miles Geringer, wife of the publisher of the Czechoslovakian newspaper, the Daily Svornost. For weeks before the night of the fire members of a Czechoslovakian athletic, or " turning society," called Sinvenska-Lipa, had been rehearsing the Brontë play, with Mrs. Pribyl, mother of Mrs. Geringer, in the title role. As the performance progressed toward its close the historic cow in Mrs. O'Leary's stable, a stone's throw away, kicked over the historic lantern, and a rumor reached the audience that there was a fire in the neighborhood. The rumor got about just as the the scene in the play was reached and there was some confusion as to whether the stage fire was referred to or one outside. The audience sat through the last act, according to Mrs. Geringer, and dispersed to find the fire was an actuality.
