The Fight Films Barred

A United States district judge has
ruled that the prize fight motion pic
lures which were photographed across
the Canadian border as a subterfuee to
permit their importation into the
United States, are not admissible under
the law. Thus as The Star contended
at the time the question was raised, the
court holds that the rays of light which
came across the international boundary
constitute an importation, and are the
essence Of the picture, without which
it cannot be presented in this country.
Judge Hand, in ruling upon the con
tention that the rephotographing process
conducted across the line was no more
an importation than the photographing
Of tree on the Canadian on film on
the American side, said:
"Now it is clear that the negative New
York film could not be taken except by
the agency of forces set in motion in
canada. These forces were rays Of light
moving into the United States. To BE
sure they went in indefinite and vast
numbers from each point Of the object
in Canada in divergent directions and
were mere COMMISSIONS Of light SO called,
until certain of them came into the
lens on the New York side. The argu-
ment that this process did not amount
to bringing a pictorial representation
from Canada to the United States, while
difficult to answer. is, I think, met by
