Eight Major Moe Fans Trust Charge Motion Picture Monopoly
The government filed a civil suit in federal court under the Sherman Act seeking dissolution of alleged illegal combinations in the motion picture industry. It names eight major companies and 132 individuals, alleging control of about 84 percent of production and theater exhibition, with principal defendants including Paramount Pictures, Loews, Irving Trust, Radio Keith Orpheum, Warner Brothers, Twentieth Century Fox, Columbia, Universal, and United Artists, plus Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, and Charles Chaplin as individuals. Restoration of open competition is the objective as the suit questions antitrust applicability across industries.
