"Paris Adult Theatre I v. Slaton", 413 U.S. 49 (1973). The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a state court's injunction against the showing of obscene films in a movie theatre restricted to consenting adults. The Court distinguished the case from "Stanley v. Georgia", 394 U.S. 557 (1969), saying that the privacy of the home that was controlling in "Stanley" was not present in the commercial exhibition of obscene movies in a theatre.
