Quick & Sons take over again.
Briefly in 1935 Bertha Elizabeth Strutt is licencee of an operation in the Town Hall, then
taken by William John Hocking. In 1943 Bertha is again running this cinema but it passes to
Ernest Levi Honour in 1949.
John William Strutt of Weston-Super-Mare takes over the People's Palace Torpoint on
21.09.1932 and renames it Gem. Bertha is also noted as operator of this venue at this
time. Passed to Cornwall Cinemas (Newquay) Ltd in 1941.
Bertha Strutt & Mr Strutt are also recorded as running Millbrook Liberal Hall on films from
1933 to 1938 when taken by William John Hocking, who passes this onto Ernest Levi
Honour in 1949.
Whether there was business connections between Strutt's and Quick's or Hocking's is
unknown but they were all operating cinemas, mainly part-time in the far south east of
Cornwall.
