E.S.T. with Friday Movie Schedules: The era of the multiplex begins in White Plains this evening when a preview party will be held beginning at 5 P.M. for invited V.I.P.'s and community figures to showcase the Cinema 15 de Lux at the City Center.

Meanwhile Applebee's, the first City Center restaurant to open, was in the swing of things Wednesday, hosting good lunch crowds Tuesday and Wednesday who were enjoying the movie and Broadway show memorabilia that festoon the walls of the roomy new restaurant. As one person remarked to me yesterday, Applebee's is a great after-the-movies place. Applebee's is ready for the movie crowds tomorrow.
APPLEBEE'S AWAITS YOUR BEFORE MOVIES, AFTER MOVIES APPETITE: The first City Center Restaurant is alive with interesting, unique movie artificacts, posters and wide aisles, and terrific acoustics (you can hear yourself across the table), and mooted conversational carry for relaxing.

Movie Patrons who are first time visitors to the new complex which opens at 6:00 P.M. should allow extra time to pay for parking at the City Center Garage parking kiosks on the upper levels 4,5,and 6 closest to the movies since the parking time dispensing machines may take a few minutes for first-time users to figure out.

Ambassador Satch, the musical playing in the White Plains Performing Arts Center will also be showing tomorrow evening at 8 P.M. Patrons of the theater would also be advised to allow extra time before the 8 P.M. "Procession" as they will be competing with moviegoers for parking spaces on the 5th Level.
