Editorial content. „$40,000 Studio Fire

                                                      Los Angeles, Oct. 5.

      Fire, thought to be started by a short circuit in the wiring,

caused about $40,000 damages at the Charlie Chaplin

Studio here. The fire, starting in Chaplin‘s dressing room in the

main building, spread to the circus set where the star

was making The Circus and wound up by sending the glass

roof of the stage crashing to the ground.

      Members of the company were warned just in time and

escaped from the building. Production on the film will

be held up a week. The entire loss was covered by insurance.“
