SUIT Threatened
ON TITLE ROMANCE
OF AUGUSTA" NOW
At OPERA HOUSE

The course of true love never runs
smooth-likewise romance, says Tom
Cuddy, the popular manager of the
Augusta Opera House. Being that Tom
is finding his bumps with the "Ro-
nance of Augusta" the movie-follow-
ing public cannot help but agree with
him. and indulge full sympathy. How
ever, he usually comes through with
colors flying. and probably the latest
obstacle, a threatened lawsuit. will be
no exception.
On Thursday Mr.. Cuddy was in
formed in an arbitrary communication
from Frederick w. Stroberg. Of the
New Idea Motion Picture Co.. of New
York, that the Romance Of Augusta
is a copyrighted title and that the in
fringement he alleges is likely to be
fruitful of legal attack.
Mr.. Cuddy regarded a copyrighted
title, under the circumstances, as
something new, and refused to be
greatly impressed by Mr.. Stroberg's
letter. and stated late Thursday eve
ming that the pictures which are draw
ing crowded houses afternoons and
evenings this week will be shown as
usual Friday and Saturday. and that
the title will not be changed to Peg
gy, the Dream Girl" Charles Pipe
"She Couldn't Paddle Her Own
Canoe" or Two Bucks Make q Lot OF
Money" And if he says so. those who
have planned to enjoy this feature for
the next two days, may rest assured
that they will not be disappointed.
Mr.. Cuddy talked with Charles Buck.
one of the promoters. at Biddeford,
last evening. and received the promise
that Mr.. Bucks company would back
him if any trouble resulted as threat
ened.
You may say for me-" declared Mr..
Cuddy. that the pictures will be shown
Friday and Saturday and that the
title will remain THE Romance OF
Augusta"
