Supreme Court Ruling
Alters Movie Policy
Toward Theaters
By th« Associated Press
The movie industry's Big Five
wrestled with a new script today—
an order from the Supreme Court
to get out of the super-colossal class.
The tribunal ruled yesterday that
the five companies violated anti
trust laws through price-fixing and
| film distribution agreements. It also
j told lower courts to go ahead
j with new proceedings to determine
Whether the movie concerns must
sell their interest in 3.137 theaters.;
At the same time, the high court
set the stage for damage claims bv
independent theater owners which
may run into millions of dollars.
The main monopoly case has been j
in court since 1938.
In a 7-to-l decision, the Supreme
Court upheld all but one of the
findings of a special three-judge
Federal court sitting in New York
last year. Justice Douglas wrote the;
majority opinion, with Justice j
Frankfurter dissenting. Justice:
Jackson took no part in the hearing, j
The only point of disagreement i
was whether the companies should
be ordered to dispose of their thea-!
ters. Thp Government had argued'
that only by such a step could the
movie industry be opened to free
competition. The lower court had
directed that first-run pictures be
I put on the auction block for com- j
petitive bidding, rather than being!
parceled out through company:
channels.
But the Supreme Court said such
action either would call for court ;
supervision of the sales or granting
great discretion to the producing!
companies. It added:
“Yet delegation of the manage-;
j ment of the system to the discre-1
tion of those who had the genius)
to conceive the present conspiracy;
and to execute it with the sublety
which this record reveals, could be
done only with the greatest re
luctance.’’
In his dissent, Justice Frank
furter contended the trial court
had gone far enough.
The big five companies Involved
are Loews, RKO, Paramount, War
ner Bros., and 20th Century-Fox.
They produce, distribute and exhibit
movies. Linked with them in the
case were Columbia Pictures Corp.,
and Universal Corp., producers and
distributors, and United Artists
Corp., a distributor.
Among other things, the court
said the firms acted in restraint of
trade by:
1. Setting the price of admissions.
2. Giving "clearance" to some the
aters—that is, setting the time be
fore a film could be shown in a
rival house.
3. Block booking—by which a the
ater or chain must take a. number
of pictures to get a particular one
desired.
On the matter of damage claims,
the court refused to review a case
appealed from Philadelphia and
thus upheld a $435,000 judgment to
William Goldman, operator of the
Erlanger Theater in Philadelphia.
The District Court and the Court
of Appeals had awarded Mr. Gold- .
man triple damages on his conten- 1
tion that he would have made $125,- j
000 in 15 months if he had had ■
access to the best pictures on the
first run. The courts also allowed i
Mr. Goldman $60,000 for attorney1
ifees and ordered the distributors to
Let him- bid for the top-ranking
pictures.
Later Mr. Goldman sued for an
other $8,400,000 for a four-year
period following the 15 months.
Lawyers for the producers and dis
tributors said more than 60 suits
are pending and that it “will bring
down on the industry a flood of
litigation which it may not be able
to survive.’’
Defendants in the damage action
were Loew's, Inc.: Paramount. RKO,
Twentieth Century-Fox, Columbia
Pictures. Warner Bros. Pictures,
Inc.; Universal Film Exchanges
Corp. and United Artists Corp.

To Pay $250 Alimony
•y the Associated Press
LOS ANGELES. May 4.—Harry
C. Cushing IV, 25 member of the
wealthy Vanderbilt family, must
pay Actress Georgette Windsor, 24,
$250 rhonthly alimony for four
months.
Superior Judge William Baird said
that was enough alimony "consid
ering the short marriage." They
were married last August 24 in Las
Vegas, Nev.
Mr. Cushing Vas left a $1,500,000

draws $75,000 a year from It, his
wife testified yesterday. Mr. Cush
ing said he has nothing and is "just
learning the movie business at
Gibraltar Pictures, Inc., without a
salary.” He admitted, however, that
he received $28,000 gross from the
trust fund In 1047.
Mr. Cushing said his wife has
$75,000, including $20,000 worth ol
jewelry given to her by his mother
before their marriage.

FATHER,
IF YOU READ THIS
come back to us. Mom's not cross at
you any more. She said, “I never
would have picked that quarrel with
Dad if I hadn’t felt so miserable.”
Seems she’d been bothered with con
stipation caused by lack of bulk in
the diet. Well, since Grandma tipped
her off to KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN,
Mom has joined the “regulars”—and
what a difference in herl She polishes
off a bowlful of ALL-BRAN every
a.m., drinks a lot of water. She’s
taken to baking swell muffins, too,
from the recipe on the ALL-BRAN
box. So come on back. You’ll find
home was never like this—before
