 A lovefest that was unique in the mov- l ing picture business in this city was en- acted in the Victory theatre Friday night. The characters were living actors and had speaking parts, at least one of them did. When the music stopped and | the spotlight was thrown middle stage
 the large audience got the thriller of the year and could not believe their sense of sight when they saw the theatre mana ger, Jacob Albert. and the theatre own CT, Nazaire Pelloquin, standing side by side with regular Doug" smile light l ing the face of each. For over a year | manager and owner have been carrying on bloodless battle in the courts over who was to conduct the theatre The | trail of battle led from a justice court LID
 through the superior court to the su- l pIeIle court or errors. Scattered along
 the way was more or less coin of the
 realm which the legal seconds of each contestant pocketed for services rendered
 and besides this there was the costs of staging the battle During the interim the contestants were far from hobnobbing together; so when they appeared before the audience Friday night it was the sur prise of the contest which was watched
 with interest by all movie fans of the
 city and this is close to 100 per cent. ot Putnam people. The decision of the court
 or Last resort favored Ieloquin and it
 had been published and advertised that
 ne was to take over the theatre and run
 It in person. Alpert was having a fare
 well week and the fans had settled down
 in the humdrum path, believing that the
 excitement was over and nothing more
 could be expected to develop. The sur i prise Of the audience was conrlete a1
 seeing Messrs- Peloquin and Albert do.

 breathless silence as Albert began tt
