World premiere of Nice Girls Don't Explode delayed by projector failure
The world premiere at Granada Theater for Nice Girls Don't Explode stalled for nearly two hours when the projector broke just as a Hollywood style entrance concluded. Production executives sent attendees to a party at Alvamar Country Club after the 7:30 p.m. start time passed, with KU students, city officials, and local journalists among those present. The event highlighted local interest in a growing film industry and featured star Barbara Harris and a parade of local dignitaries.
