Hurricane Causes Theater Ceiling Collapse - Tons of plaster fill seats in forward part of the Standard Theater, (1128 South St.) after the ceiling collapsed during height of last night's hurricane, injuring at least several movie-goers. Firemen, summoned to the theater, first were told several children were buried under the debris but a search showed that all escaped although the plaster and falling timbers covered more than 15 rows of seats.
