ca. 1927. Dempsey-Tunney fight picture at Liberty Theater, 906-08 Pacific Avenue. Boxing aficionados of all ages flocked to the Liberty Theater to watch the controversial Jack Dempsey-Gene Tunney championship rematch originally occurring at Soldier Field in Chicago on September 22, 1927. Tunney had decisively beaten the former heavyweight champ just a short year before. For 25 cents, Tacoma fans could watch the "fight pictures" and be part of the roaring crowd.
