GREAT FIGHT FILMS.
A HIDDEN OPERATOR. London, July 23. Cinematograph patrons in England are chuckling over a delightful comedy concerning the pictures of. the Dempsey-Carpenter fight. The first act opens with the arrival in England of an American hustler with what is purported'to be an official copy, the rights for which many thousands of pounds sterling were said to have been paid. Between 200 and 300 copies were distributed broadcast and- shown at the princial picture houses. The film was reviewed at great length, and praised by the press. In reality the pictures were not official. They were taken by an operator concealed in an empty water tank on a roof overlooking the arena, a telescopic lens being used. The second act' commences with the arrival- of an agent’ for the official films. Telegraphs and . telephones were at once started frantically buzzing, and the first serials were hurriedly withdrawn. The final act centres in a High Court application for an injunction.
