Original Toronto Star caption: Arson investigation: A fire that severely damaged historic Playter's Hall lit up the early morning sky yesterday and drew a huge crowd to the Broadview-Danforth neighborhood. No one was injured; but smoke forced evacuation of 28 people who live nearby. It was the second fire since 1981. The Ontario Fire Marshal's office is investigating whether arson was the cause.
