Description

Because the early 1900s, when the first moving images flickered at the screens of storefront nickelodeons, going to the movies has been an integral a part of life across The usa. By the 1950s, there have been over 230 theaters in southern New Jersey, ranging from lavish palaces like the 2,000-seat Stanley in Camden to modest venues like the 350-seat Little in Haddonfield. These days, sadly, lower than a dozen remain standing, and most of those at the moment are used for other commercial purposes. Only the Broadway in Pitman continues to operate as the last of the original motion-picture palaces. South Jersey Movie Houses is a pictorial tour of the theaters that once raised their curtains to audiences around the southern a part of the state. It offers a nostalgic take a look at their neon marquees and silver screens, bringing back memories of Saturday matinees, 3-D glasses, and movie date nights.
