The area around 13 th and P streets was particularly congested. The Stuart Theater, the Douglas 3 and Cinema 1 & 2 are all located near the corner. Lines were apparent at all three theaters at 7:15 p.m. Saturday. Kent Knudsen, assistant manager of the Stuart Theater, 13th and P streets, said last weekend, especially Saturday, was busy. Although the movie showing at the Stuart, “Wort ing Girl,’ ’ has been there since Christmas Day, the show drew 563 people for three shows on Friday, and 1,083 people for five Saturday shows, Knudsen said. “I don’t know what accounts for that,’’ Knudsen said about this week end’s crowds. In comparison, “A Fish Called Wanda” drew 1,007 on the Saturday of its opening weekend this summer, he said. As a result of the crowds, a movie employee directed the crowds out side the Stuart to the correct lines. Knudsen said the Stuart has to make sure it has enough staff to handle the large audiences. When a large audience is present, the Stuart starts the movie a little late so people can get concessions, he said. At the Douglas 3, “Mississippi Burning,” “Beaches” and “The Accidental Tourist” arc showing. According to Pal Stahly, manager of the Douglas 3, the movies’ novelty may have something to do with the long lines. “All three arc new movies,” she I said. 'We’ve been fairly busy. Satur day pretty much sold out on a lot of diem.” ■ fl —I LINCOLN GYM AND FITNESS CENTER Lincoln's Premier Free Weight Gym j Friday, Jan. 27,1989 B 2545 Randolph | MADSEN'S BOWLING & BILLIARDS [ WELCOME BACK I STUDENTS •Your bowling fun center •75^ per game, Monday thru Friday 11 am-6pm •Pool tables/snooker/billiard tables •Lounge with daily lunch specials •Try our famous 1/2 pound hamburger 467-3249 4700 Dudley 1 block South of __ 48th 4 Hotdrtgt BHHMnMMHHHaHnna_muhhbI _ ■ IWIII I HI Mil ■■III ...
