Tacoma. July 17.--How the Jcn-
sen-Von Herberg moving picture
theater organization obtained con-
troll of five movie houses in Ia
coma during the past year is
story that has not found its way
into the columns of local newspa
pers, any more than news of the
lockout of their union picture ma
chine operators, with sympathetic
strikes in Seattle, Portland, Butte,
and other northwest cities.
The Jensen-Von Herberg interests
invaded the Tacoma field year
ago this month. Their first move
was to take over the Victory thea
ter, under arrangements to pay out
standing debts incurred by the for
mer manager, Eddie James. Prac-
tically no cash was paid for the un
expired lease and fixtures in the
theater at 90S Pacific avenue, it
is said.
After acquiring the Victory so
easily, they went to see John S.
Baker, owner, and H. T. Moore,

Broadway, near Tenth, and the
Rialto at Ninth and Market streets
are the two most modern movie
theaters in Tacoma, and are worth
about $250,000.
The following threatening
offer was said to have been put
up to Baker and Moore:
''That the Jenscn-Von Her.
berg combine had the inside

lures being released In the

from obtaining these big fea-
