"Psycho" Reported Big in Three More Dates

Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho," being presented on a "no one admitted after the start of a performance" policy, is following up its smash boxoffice pace at the DeMille and Baronet Theatres here with record openings in additional pre-release engagements in Chicago, Philadephia and Boston.

Opening in the latter three cities on Wednesday, the Paramount drama turned in $5,955 at the Woods Theatre, Chicago; $4,338 at the Arcadia, Philadelphia, and $3,586 at the Paramount, Boston.

Completing its first full week in New York on Wednesday "Psycho" grossed $67,750 in the opening session at two theatres. The DeMille's $47,459 and the Baronet's $20,291 set records for both houses.
