HEENEY-TUNNEY FIGHT The authentic film of the HeeneyTunney fight is attracting large crowds at the Hippodrome Theatre every day. The film is a remarkably clear one. and gives an excellent impression of the fight, round by round. When watching this film, one realises that Tunney is a master of the boxing art. On his toes lie skips round the sturdy New Zealander, and lightly dances in to connect with his left. The champion's agility is in contrast to the heavier and slower movements of Xew Zealand's hope. Nevertheless, Heeney was undaunted throughout, and stuck gamely to the contest. He stood up to the heavy pounding of blows, took it all and still continued to fight back until the ; referee intervened. His gameness has been told to the world, and he deserves full credit for it. The slow-motion camera was used for many of the scenes, and every act can be clearly seen by the audience. A full supporting programme is also being shown, the fight film is presented at three theatres, the Hippodrome, Empress and West End.
