In ‘The Pools’ I had two of the six score draws and was one off each of the other four. I had the one scoreless draw as well.
We lunched at the Parisienne Pussycat Restaurant on the corner of George and Bathurst streets. Two fruit cocktail drinks, with real fruit, cost sixty cents each. The main courses consisted of king prawn cutlets with vegetables, at a cost of three dollars and fifteen cents, and bream fillets, also with vegetables. The total bill, which included a surcharge of one dollar, came to eight dollars and fifty cents.
It cost us three dollars and fifty cents each to enter the Barclay Theatre, which is located to the south along George Street and on its western side, to view the film, “Two Minute Warning”. In this entertaining movie, a sniper creates havoc at a gridiron match. Charlton Heston, John Cassavetes, Beau Bridges and David “The Fugitive” Janssen are included in its cast. Films on the country of Jordan, and Cypress Gardens in Florida, as well as a cartoon that featured Barney Bear, preceded the main feature.
An obese teenage boy had a chocolate-coated ice-cream in each hand and alternately proceeded to eat both of them. Some children in the cinema were rowdy and swore at will. A youth seated next to us yelled out an expletive at the top of his voice, then stood up and left, shortly before the conclusion to the film.
