& „Dictator“ Seat Sale Breaks Speed Record

      Because of crowds gathering at 9 a. m. yesterday at the

Astor Theater to buy tickets for Charlie Chaplin‘s

„Great Dictator,“ police asked that the box office be opened

in advance of the regular hour – 10 o‘clock. It was

opened at 9:30 with the stream of buyers keeping four ticket

sellers busy. House was quickly sold out for the

opening night, Oct. 15, and seats were placed on sale

for the next four weeks. Four extra telephones

have been installed to take care of ‘phoned reservations.
