FIGHT FILM SHOWS
/ OCCASION ARRESTS
Western Exhibitors Charged
With Law Violation for Tun-
ney-DempSey Features.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, September %
An outbreak of motion picture exhibl'
tions showing the Tunney- Dempsey
championship fight started Govern
ment machinery at work up and down
the Pacific Coast today in an effort to
find out how the film reached the
West and to fix responsibility for their
being shown.
Reports of the appearance OF the
pictures in Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco yesterday took Federal oft1clais
by surprise, and a furry OF arrests,
investigations, warnings and prellml-
nary skirmishing between exhibitors
and Government attorneys followed.
In San Francisco one theater oper-
stor and his entire staff We're arrested
when deputY United States marShalS
stopped the screen version of the nght
in the second round. The house was
crowded. Spectators were given re-
funds and allowed to leave.
Theater Officials Arrested.
w. p. Cullen, manager. and Sol
Pincus, publicity agent. were held
under bonds of $500 each on charges
of conspiracy to transport, ship and
receive in interstate commerce certain
motion picture films of prize fights
and pugilistic encounters" The others
of the theater staff were released on
their own recogniZance. The maxi
mum penalty for the offense is $4,000
fine and two years in prison.
In Los Angeles a dozen theatrical
and business men were ordered to ap-
pear before the Federal grand jury
today in connection with the showing
of the films there. Several Los Angeles
and Hollywood theaters are exhibiting
the films and Government officials said
they were not legally able to stop the
shows.
The San Francisco theater's legal
counsel issued a statement saying the
pictures had been printed in Los
Angeles and that the theater had vlo-
lated no law in exhibiting them here.
The district attorneys office here in
dicated it would attempt to prove the
copying of the pictures as they were
received in Los Angeles was an overt
act"
One clue which the Federal officials
followed was a poster in front or the
show house bearing the significant
phrase, 'Mr. Rickard presents -
On the strength of this the prosecutors
said they would ask the arrest of
R:ckard, Tunney and Dempsey If it
could be proved they had had hand
in causing exhibition of the films, and
a warrant was telegraphed to New
York and Chicago for the promoter.
The theater management said RICK
ards name had been used merely to
advertise the show.
Shown i'm Vancouver.
Advices from the office Of Tex Rick
ard in New York yesterday said no
warrant had been received. In Mr..
Richards absence his secretary point
ed out that George Getz of Chicago
had promoted the fight and said that
Mr.. Rickard had nothing to do with
the pictures.
Meanwhile a theater in Vancouver.
Wash, serenely announced it would
exhibit the fight films tonight.
Motion pictures of the Dempsey
Tunney fight were shown in a Seattle
theater last night. The manager OF
the house said he found the can of
fight films on the sidewalk" in front
of his theater.

coffee is altogether too much for her.
What Mrs. Sandwina likes in the
morning is usually slice of toast, a
vegetable and perhaps an orange or
some other fruit. Tea and coffee are
tabooed. Her luncheon Is nearly as
light. with fish in preference to meat
In the evening Mrs. Sandwina some.
times has little meat. but often feels
perfectly satisfied if she merely has
an egg or two and vegetables. She Is
the mother of Ted Sandwina, prize
fighter, born in Sioux City. Iowa.
Mrs. Sandwina has been appearing
in circuses in England. Since her son
has been fighting here she takes the
place Of a second during the contests
and does the rubbing down.

80 DIFFERENT SCENES
Fred X. Thompson Directing
1927 Edition-Talent Best
Ever-Funds to Aid in New

ready, and tomorrow night at SIS

has ever been attempted since the
Legion started giving its annual
offering.
Funds raised through the show
will be used to defray the costs OF
a new legion hall which Mainland
post hopes some day to place on a
lot which it owns near its present
headquarters. This is one of the
great detectives of members OF
Mainland post, and one which they
hope to see realized in the near
future.
Warren E. Davis is business
manager of this years show. Wal
ter Field is assistant business
manager. Other members of the
executive staff are: Harry David
son, stage manager; Ferd Eble

is in wonderful shape. Much of it
has been but recently paved, in
fact.
From this city TO Somers
Point, a distance OF seven miles,
the road is worse than it is in
any other section of the state. In
fact. so bad is it, that many take
the back road, down the Zion
road to Bargaintown, then to the
left by the mill pond and the
Bargaintown school house. and on
until they strike the road which
takes them over the Patcong
creek bridge and out on the
Shore road near Harbor Lane in
Somers Point.
Bituminous concrete will be
the new surface of the Shore
road. Work will be finished, it is
understood, as rapidly as pos
sible.
