Tillie‘s Punctured Romance Scenes

„The 6,000-foot Keystone comedy”

Editorial content. „CALIFORNIA WITH WORLD.

      The California Motion Picture Corporation retired from

the Alco program late last week, releasing Mrs Wiggs

of the Cabbage Patch, through the World Film Corporation.“ (...)

      „The Alco this week announced that it had paid

$100,000 for the United States and Canadian rights of Tilly‘s

Punctured Romance, the 6,000-foot Keystone comedy,

which it would release Dec. 21.

      Marie Dressler applied to the courts to prevent

this transaction, alleging that it interfered with her

property rights in the film. Justice Newburger refused

to issue an injunction, pointing out that the lease

of the film on the ,state rights‘ plan by the Keystone to the Alco

would work no injury to Miss Dressler. The contract

between Miss Dressler and the Keystone Co. stipulates that

the film shall remain the joint property of the two parties

and shall not be sold.“ (...)
