A local newsboy was banned from the Canker Shores Multi-Plex during last nights premiere showing of Steven Spielberg's, JAWS.
The movie was brought to a sudden halt at the
request of facility manager Lester Carbuncle. It seems that Multi-Plex ushers spotted local newspaper boy, Mordie Shankel, consuming food that was clearly smuggled into the Multi-Plex.
"The Multi-Plex's policy is quite clear on this", said Mr. Carbuncle.
"The only food items allowed here,
are those purchased at the snackbar", he went on to say.
When we asked the manager of the single screen facility why the movie was halted, He responded: "Well, after we finally got Mr. Shankel to leave the theater it took some time to extinguish the charcoal in the Hibachi, and then we had to open all the doors to clear out the smoke."
Mr. Shankel is now banned from the Multi-Plex for one year.
Mr. Carbuncle did inform us:
"Next week the Multi-Plex will be premiering a film by George Lucas called, *Star Wars*. And, we invite everyone to come and check it out!"
