Summary

Mr. Justine Lust recently gave judgment for the defendant, with costs, in the action by the British Actors' Film Company, against Mr. James Glover, the well-known musical director, in respect of the right to film the light opera, 'Les Cloches de Corneville.' The film company claimed a declaration that they were entitled exclusively to the film rights of the opera, and to perform the music with the film. Mr. Glover contended that he had the right to produce the opera in the provinces.
