C. Bryant 3040 Fight Films May Be Shown In New York Territory Showing of the Tunney-Dempsey fight fihiis is expected to start today or tomorrow over an important New York circuit, following results of a hearing yesterday before Federal Judge Thatcher. He denied a motion for an injunction against United States Attorney Tuttle and the U. S. Marshal's office which would have barred them from proceeding against the exhibition of the fight films in New York City. Tuttle explained his office has no intention of interfering with the exhibition of the films, which statement caused Judge Thatcher to deny the motion for injunction. The owners of the fight film prints then made thi announcement that the films would be shown today. The films are being shown in New Jersey. Discontinue Fight Pictures Kansas City — Sam Carver, manager of the Liberty, discontinued showing of the Dempsey-Tunney fight pictures after he was served with a replevin writ.

Four theaters in Brooklyn and one in Birmingham, Ala., are, to be built by the Allied Owners Corp., a subsidiary of Realty Associates. The sites tor the theaters, which have been selected by Paramount and plans also prepared under their direction are: In Brooklyn an eleven story building at DeKalb and Hudson Avenues, win oe the largest of the new group. It will seat 4000. At Flatbush and Tilden Avenues, a 3,900 seat house; at Jamaica Ave. and Merrick Boulevard, a 3,500 seater. Plans have not been lully completed for the building at Saratoga and Pitkin Avenues but there will be a theater seating between three and four thousand. The Birmingham structure, which is expected to be completed within 60 days, will be a five story building containing a 2,500 seat theater. Paramount had leased these properties at a nef annual rental equal to at least 10 per cent of the cost of lands and buildings, such rental payments to begin as each building is completed — but in no event later than Dec 31, 1928.
