...PLAYHOUSE (NET, 8-10 p.m.). Three avant-garde plays by the La Mama Playwrights: Puvane by Jean-Claude van Itallie, Fourteen Hundred Thousand by Sam Shepard, and The Recluse by Paul Foster...
Bazaar Economy. For the moment, the displaced Spaniards are harder hit than Gibraltar. The Madrid government eventually hopes to absorb them in an industrial complex abuilding outside La Linea de la Conception, the Spanish border town. Because of manpower economies and increasing mechanization, Gibraltar calculates it can replace them with only 1,000 skilled workers brought in from elsewhere. Says Chief Minister Sir Joshua Abraham Hassan: "We have problems, but in the long run the Spaniards have done us a favor...
From the viewpoint of public interest, the Geneva trip was something of a disappointment. Except for an open-air evening Mass celebrated by the Pope in the Pare de la Grange, where 60,000 people showed up, the crowds were amazingly small. Some Protestant traditionalists showed their displeasure at the visit by holding a prayer vigil at the supposed site of Calvin's grave, and nine Presbyterian ministers picketed World Council headquarters with signs saying "No peace with Rome" shortly before the Pope's arrival.

Still, attracted by a $1,000,000-a-year advertising campaign, customers are flocking to Ellman's restaurants in startling numbers. Orangerie serves about 5,200 meals a week, and an offshoot of Ellman's original Cattleman, the Cattleman West, which opened last February, is already serving 1,250 people a day.
