I b 12 Theater TV Expansion Considered New York (UPD Irving B Kahn, president of the tele prompter Corp., may start monthly theater-TV shows within the next year- if the Floyd Patterson- Roy Harris title fight proves a competi tive and financial success. Kahn, a nephew of song writer Irving Berlin, would like to hear the music of f our- million-dollar or five-million-dollar gates at regular inter vals for big fights, football classics, World Series games, basketball championships and red hot Broadway stage shows. "I'm considering the possi bility of presenting outstand ing., monthly attractions through closed - circuit tele vision to theatres and other locations in the United States and Canada," he said. "But before I go any further, I'll wait and see what success we have with the Patterson-Harris fight on Aug. 18." Would Cut Costs 'Kahn stressed that costs would be much cheaper all along the line from produ cer to spectator if the closed- circuit shows were presented at regular intervals, instead of once or twice a year on grab-bag dates. Although Irving is not the promoter of record for the Patterson-Harris fight at Los Angeles, his all-out promotion of sales for the 516,000 seats now available at theatres and arenas has hit the boxing world with a refreshing im pact. The former director of ra dio and TV for 20th Century- Fox said the Teleprompter corporation in which West ern Union has a robust inter est will take a $275,000 gamble on eliminating a radio brodacast of the fight and on signing a sliding-scale, must- be-good-fight movie contract. Reject Radio Offers He said, "We have rejected offers as high as $75,000 for the broadcast rights in order to attract more fans to the theatres. We know that 20 million listened to the broad cast of the Ray Robinson-Carmen Basilio return bout at Chicago in March. And we figure that at least one per cent of those 20 million will go to. the theatres to see the fight if there's no home broadcast." . The distributors, to be named later, will pay a very high percentage if Harris wrests the crown from Patter son or puts up a sensational fight. At the other extreme. the distributors' payment will be very low if the bout is a fiasco. "Should we be wrong in our appraisal of this fight, we'll get about $200,000 less than we would have been as sured on a straight-away con tract," he said.
