. . . . . . "According to an article in the New York Times, smoke descended on the stage during the second half of the concert. The orchestra kept on playing and finished the performance. The smoke originated from a fire in a garbage chute on the 56th Street side of the building, and first appeared during the first movement of the Tchaikovsky symphony. It disappeared after about 25 minutes, when fire crews pushed the smoldering trash from the clogged chute into the sub-basement, where another fire crew wetted it down with hoses and removed it to the incinerator.\r\n\"Koussevitzky Averts Carnegie Fire Scare; Conducts Symphony on Smoke-Filled Stage.\" New York Times 7 Apr. 1934: 25.
