CELL PHONES BANNED FROM NEW YORK THEATERS
Starting in April, using cell phones in theaters and other public
venues in New York City will be illegal, subject to fines of $50.
Theatergoers caught making calls, talking on cell phones, or whose cell
phones ring during shows will be in violation of the new ordinance.
Pagers and beepers that make noise are also banned. The law applies to
concerts, cinemas, theatres, museums, and libraries. New York Mayor
Michael Bloomberg had opposed the new law, saying it was unnecessary
and unenforceable. The city council, however, had enough votes to
override Bloomberg's veto.
