Government Attempts to
Force Him to Release
New York Theaters.
BY Universal Service.

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a gigan-
tic ''tie-up" of New York City thea.
tiers was perfected by Adolph Zukor's
Famous Players-Lasky pictures inter
ests, it is alleged by the government in
its case before the Federal Trade Com
mission charging conspiracy and an
attempt TO create monopoly of the
movies"
Zukor's company not only controlled
six prominent first-run theaters in
New York, but by means of 'busi-
ness connection" obtained the Loew
theaters. of which there were 80 in
1923. for its productions, the govern
ment's brief declares.
The first-run theaters, according to
the brief We're:
The "Rialto." seating 1850; Fri
Volt, 2150; 'Lyceum," 900: EN-
pire." 1855; Criterion" 600: New
York Roof" 1856, and Riviera seat
ing 2169.
OFFERED LOEW FIRST.
Loew's theaters, in addition. the
brief points out. comprise the largest
and strongest circuit Of movie houses
in the Metropolitan district and has
for years used Paramount pictures.
the Famous Players-Lasky product.
W. H. Fuller, chief counsel for the
commission. explained the business
connection" Zukor had with Loew
as follows:
Each year the Paramount prod
net is offered to Loew first and he has
the refusal of it before it is offered to
any other exhibitor or exhibitors in
the Metropolitan district.
'The Loew houses are given pro-
lection over all the other theaters.
with the exception in some cases of the
United Booking office or Keith cir
cults.
BEAT COMPETITION.
"The effect of this has been that
the individual exhibitors in New
York. who formerly had first-run thea
tiers which were first-run in their zone
or district. have now been showed
aside. and their houses have deterior-
ated into second or third runs on &C.
count of the protection afforded Loew.
The brief asks that the interests OF
which Zukor is the dominant head, be
ordered by the commission to divest
themselves from their theater holdings
or 10 divest themselves Of their pro-
ducing and distributing interests.
Hearings will begin November 10.
