SIR MARTIN HARVEY SUED.

OUR DAILY TALK ON HEALTH.

PROCEEDS OF "THE ONLY

WAY" FILM.

Sir John Martin Harvey, the actor, was defendant in a case brought against him in the King's Bench Division, London, the other day, by Mr. Acton Bond, arising out of royalties for the cinema right of the play "The Only Way."

The claim was made under an order of the Chancery Division of 1901 which Sir John denied had any application to royalties derived from cinema rights..

Sir Patrick Hastings, K. C., for plaintiff, said the claim was för an account of all royalties which Sir John had received from the cinema rights of "The Only Way." Sir John and plaintiff had been associated in the production of the play as long ago as 1000 or 1899. The arrangement from the very beginning was that out of all royalties that Sir John received Mr. Acton Bond was to get 5 per cent. That arrangement over since, had been going on The question at issue was whether Mr. Acton Bond was entitled to royalties on the cinema rights and performance.
