The Cunning Little Vixen The Cunning Little Vixen (Czech: "Příhody lišky Bystroušky" , lit. "Adventures of the vixen known as Sharp-Ears", and, until the 1970s, generally referred to in English as Adventures of Vixen Sharp-Ears) is a Czech language opera by Leoš Janáček, composed 1921 to 1923, in which a clever fox and accompanying wildlife (as well as a few humans) have small adventures while traversing their lifecycles. Its libretto was adapted by the composer from a serialized novella (daily comic) by Rudolf Těsnohlídek and Stanislav Lolek, which was first published in the newspaper "Lidové noviny". The opera incorporates Moravian folk music and rhythms. Described as a comic opera, it has nonetheless been noted to contain a serious theme. Interpretations of the work remain varied, ranging from children's entertainment to a tragedy.

It opened on 3 January 1874 at the Haymarket Theatre in London, where Gilbert had previously presented his 'fairy comedies' "The Palace of Truth", "Pygmalion and Galatea", and "The Wicked World". "Charity" ran for about 61 performances, closing on 14 March 1874, and received tours and revivals thereafter.

Cinema Theater (Rochester, New York) The Cinema Theater is a motion picture theater in Rochester, New York. Opened as a neighborhood motion picture theater since 1914, it is one of the oldest continuously operated motion picture theaters in the United States. The theater is located at the corner of South Clinton Avenue and South Goodman Street in Rochester. Originally named "The Clinton", but due to a circular arrangement of wooden benches with an open area in the middle, it was affectionately referred to as the "flea pit”, a name which stuck for many years — and long after the original dirt floor was covered and the benches were replaced with seats. In 1949 it was renamed the Cinema by its owners, Morris Slotknick and Philip Cohen, and four years later it was enlarged to extend a full city block, and its distinctive Art Deco facade installed. The business was acquired by Jo Ann Morreale in 1985.

B movie A B movie or B film is a low-budget commercial movie, but one that is not an arthouse film. In its original usage, during the Golden Age of Hollywood, the term more precisely identified films intended for distribution as the less-publicized bottom half of a double feature (akin to B-sides for recorded music). Although the U.S. production of movies intended as second features largely ceased by the end of the 1950s, the term "B movie" continues to be used in its broader sense to this day. In its post–Golden Age usage, there is ambiguity on both sides of the definition: on the one hand, the primary interest of many inexpensive exploitation films is prurient; on the other, many B movies display a high degree of craft and aesthetic ingenuity.
