PENDANTS of acquiring motion picture
theaters throughout the country and
compelling exhibitors to book exclu'
slvely productions released through

auctions to competitors of the Famous
Players corporation.
The complaint charges that in &C
dulring and controlling motion pic,
ture theaters to respondent "~conspira'
tors have coerced and intimidated
theater owners who refused to sell or
