From time to time on Fridays we’ll be posting things that happened exactly 50 years previously (we say “from time to time” because we know ourselves to well to commit to every week). These will typically focus on something in the Smut World, more often than not ads for films and shows in a particular city on that particular date.
This weeks installment is from the Los Angeles Times, September 25, 1970. Enjoy

We’ll here from Ted again sometime soon I’m sure.
