Four cameras were used at the ringside, on a perfect day from the operator’s point of view, with the result that a perfect reproduction was achieved. Two nights after the big event, 20,000 persons visited the Stadium to again see theoontestants fighting, this time on the kinematograph screen, and th& pictures are still being shown in.
