Calcutta Cast Arrested for Lewd Conduct at Show
City attorney’s office filed warrants after two deputies and three municipal court judges plus police vice squad investigators attended the show’s opening night on November 25. Inspector Pete Hagen said judges ruled the production violated state law. Edward Mosk, lawyer for the cast and Actors Equity, questioned why Los Angeles police acted after a New York run without arrests. The play, which began in New York in August, was billed as a comic expo of sexual hangups.
