daughter of well-known Filmrow figures.<br />
Her lather is Jack Cuddy of Film Transportation.<br />
Her grandfather, Bill Cuddy,<br />
was booker and office manager at Pathe exchange<br />
at 39 Church Street, the first movie<br />
exchange to locate in what is now Filmrow.<br />

SPRINGFIELD<br />
John 1). Morrison, manager-partner. Pleasant<br />
St. Theatre, Northampton, phasedout<br />
his popular "silents" programs for the<br />
summer months, planning to resume the<br />
schedule in September. The concluding<br />
show featured Chaplin's "The Immigrant.<br />
He has instituted a dollar-night policy for<br />
Tuesdays (excepting "special events"), with<br />
ads asserting, "How Can You Resist?"<br />
Prom season prompted Harry Schwab.<br />
Air-Line Drive-In, Chicopee. to link up with<br />
WHYN-Radio on promotion for United<br />
Artists' "Carrie," part of a Dusk-to-Dawn<br />
show (other titles: "The School That<br />
Couldn't Scream," "Night of Bloody Horror,"<br />
"Drum" and "Women and Bloody<br />
Terror"). Nine winners, selected in a Saturday<br />
drawing at the theatre, got money for<br />
a pair of prom tickets and loan of a tuxedo<br />
(Yale-Genton Clothes). Other prizes for the<br />
nine: Corsage and boutonniere (courtesy of<br />
the Wilbraham Flower Shop) and, to top it<br />
all off, a chauffeured limousine, courtesy of<br />
Springfield's Cunningham Livery Service.<br />
Schwab's ad catch-line read: "You'll Never<br />
Forget Carrie's Prom—Nor Do We Want<br />
You to Forget Your Prom!"<br />
VERMONT<br />
International filmmaker Marcel Ophuls, on<br />
a visit to the University of Vermont,<br />
Burlington campus, lamented that all too<br />
few Americans will be seeing his latest release,<br />
"The Memory of Justice," because of<br />
its length (four-and-a-half hours). The documentary,<br />
he said, is not the usual kind of<br />
attraction expected to line up people in the<br />
street; this film's length further discourages<br />
exhibitors by limiting the number of showings—and,<br />
hence, the income— per day.<br />
Merrill Jarvis, who heads Merrill Theatre<br />
Corp.. said that he had been trying—unsuccessfully,<br />
to date—to get a print of "The<br />
Memory of Justice" from the distributor,<br />
Paramount, learning that there have been<br />
only two prints on the East Coast. The<br />
Burlington Free Press, largest newspaper in 1<br />
Vermont, quoted Paramount vice-president<br />
Gordon Weaver as saying, "Anybody who<br />
would like to rent the film can come to I<br />
Paramount and rent it." Weaver was further<br />
quoted as saying that chances of Paramount<br />
gaining a return on its $500,000 investment<br />
in the Ophuls attraction were "practically<br />
nil."<br />
