...which open at 6:30 a.m. City authorities have allowed that unusually early opening time to draw some of the jobless young people off the streets. The city's current favorite movie star is Charlie Chaplin. When Limelight opened in June, it was to S.R.O. crowds.

In Seattle the chapter of Women Against Violence Against Women campaigned successfully to get Paramount Pictures to remove objectionable ads for its sexploitation film Bloodline. In Minneapolis earlier this month, some 4,500 women from several states marched through the city's red-light district behind a banner that read: WOMEN UNITE, TAKE BACK THE NIGHT.
