Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on the Alamo Theatre in Bucksport, which has some local residents upset because it is admitting people 17 and under to view R-rated films. Some say the community should have a larger say in films selected for screening at the Alamo. Others want the theater to enforce the film industry's rating guide. And still others maintain the theater has no obligation or right to police its patrons. However, a recent meeting ended on a conciliatory note, with community members agreeing that parents must not abdicate their roles, and the theatre manager agreeing to provide more information to help parents.
