Summary

The moving pictures of the famous Johnson-Burns fight which took place at Sydney, Australia, on December 26, have been brought to Manila by Sydney S. Cohan, one of the promoters of the fight, and will be seen in Hongkong at an early date. These pictures are the best that have ever been taken of a championship fight; the films are so clear and realistic that one might almost imagine he was witnessing the actual fight. A detailed description of the film is included. Mr. Cohan will exhibit the pictures in China and Japan and will then sail for London with Hugh D. McIntosh to promote the return battle between Burns and Johnson.
