Superior Court Judge Carol S. Ball last Wednesday said she will allow the club to stay open at least until yester­ day, July 20. At that time, she was expected to release her decision on whether or not to allow the city to yank the entertainment club's license at 969 Commonwealth Ave. If the music club loses its entertainment license, it will most likely have to close. Attorneys for the club sued the city two weeks ago after Boston's Office of Consumer Affairs and Licensing issued its decision pulling the license because of continu­ ous overcrowding violations. The club wa'> to have turned in the license on Wednesday, July 7, but Ball allowed the club to remain temporarily open as long as management pays a police detail to keep the crowd under control. Attorneys for the club argued at last week's hearing that the city should not be allowed to pull the license because dancing was a fonn of free speech - protected under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
