They were talking about Cheetah, Manhattan's newest and noisiest fun house, which roared into life last week with the growl and din of a gigantic concrete mixer. It had a familiar look, a return to the big, brash scene of the 1930s marathon dance halls, and on opening night some 2,000 invited guests pushed through the door of the Broadway and 53rd Street site known to their parents as the Riviera Terrace and, before that, the Arcadia Ballroom...

Will Cloney, director of the marathon, refused even to admit that she had competed at all: "I know of no girl who ran in the Boston Marathon," he insisted. "She couldn't enter. I do know of a girl who is supposed to have run the same roads as the marathon route today. But that's not the same." No? Roberta is planning to run again next year...
