COSMOPOLITAN STUDIOS BURN The studio and plant of the Cosmopoli- tan Productions, Inc., producers of Marion Davies films, was completely destroyed by fire last Sunday morning, the loss being estimated at over $1,000,000. The studios occupied the block of Second avenue from 126th to 127th streets, and also housed the news reel issued by the International Film Studios. Most of the damage resulted from the loss of several weeks of work on Miss Davies' newest picture, "Little Old New York," and the many costly- paintings, scenery and real antiques that had been used in the film. The picture was about two-thirds finished and the negatives, were lost as well as the script, stage directions, models for sets, and blue prints, etc., repre- senting many months of work. Miss Davies lost many of her gowns and other personal property used in the new film and the last ones taken "When Knighthood Was in Flower" and "Adam and Kva." The studio occupied a three-story build- ing and grounds which had formerly been Sulzer's Harlem River Casino, a favorite picnic spot of a decade ago and more, of New Yorkers, especially the resort used for outings by many politicians. The fire was discovered by a watchman, Richard Glaud, who saw some scenery on fire and turned in the first of the three alarms nec- essary to subdue the blai;. Two fire- boats also assisted in putting the fire out. Another Cosmopolitan studio is situated in the Bronx, but was used as an auxiliary plant and has little equipment in compari- son to the one burned. CAN'T GIVE SCENERY*. AWAY Though George C.
