Heading in to town via Tremont street, unlimited vistas of amusement enfold before the evening stroller. The Beacon Hill Theater, for instance, is featuring Sir Codic Hardwicke in Nicholas Nickleby and Deborah Kerr in Black Narcissus, an all-British twin bill. A turn to the left will put you on Washington Street, Boston's Broadway and home of the bigge movies. They include...
