Woman Arrested at Fahrenheit 9/11 Showing...

East Caln Township is near Coatesville, IIRC.

Easttown is near West Chester. While they aren't at separate ends of the world, they aren't especially close to each other.

Since the police response was PSP (PA State Police) from the Embreeville Barracks, the response time is NOT quick. The distance to the station is at least 20 minutes. That assumes that the Troopers were not out dealing with something else at the same time.

Also, movie theater managers HATE hassles. The last thing they want to do is call the police, because that information then shows up in the local newspapers. If folks get a bad impression of that particular theater, they'll go elsewhere. If they called the cops, she more than likely had become a bitch on wheels.

Also, if she were set up in front of the exit doors handing out voter registration forms (or any other kind of literature) she was representing a hazard or nuissance. This would also be the case if she had posted herself in the lobby.

I'm reminded of the scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail ... "Help, help! I'm being oppressed!!"
