'SUNDAY'

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Raymond A. Sokolov, Jr.'s waspish review in Friday's CRIMSON accused the Brattle Theatre of failing to advertise the showing of Dan Drasin's Sunday. The Brattle did in fact advertise Sunday in ads in the CRIMSON (Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday), the Globe, the Herald and Traveler, the Record-American, the Christian Science Monitor (Thursday-Friday-Saturday), and on WCRB. In addition, the Brattle sent out special news releases on Sunday which were printed by the Globe (in entirety) and the Herald (in part).

As it happens, we do not particularly admire Sunday but extended ourselves to give it a fair showing; your reviewer might occasionally try being equally fair. Brattle Theatre   (Mrs. John W. Pratt).

MR. SOKOLOV REPLIES: Now, gentlemen, one at a time please. First, Ivy Films. As to your troubles with the Brattle, with these I condole. As to your technical information, I suggest you check it. My impression from conversations with Richard Leacock and with the immediate past president of your organization is that Drasin did indeed borrow synch-sound equipment first conceived by Leacock.

Next, the Brattle. I apologize for not investigating the local media more thoroughly though I must point out that on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, in the teeth of the weekend, the Crimson's Brattle ads carried no mention of "Sunday." I'm sorry if I appeared to have a "bee in my bonnet" over this affair, but I still contend that most of the Brattle's patrons do not often read the Boston press.
