With the new management company I would predict a return to more art house movies since the Ambler, HiWay & County offer this genre.

A search of Google street view puts the building at 586 Roosevelt. The photo is much nicer than that of the Ledger, leading one to believe that this building is in rapid decline.

A bit of quirky information from nj.com 7/11/11:

The water was used to air condition the theater — until it showed its last movie in 1989 (“When Harry Met Sally”).

Funny, caption of the photo in my above link, incidently from the same source as Ken Mc posted above, states photo is ca 1908. Don’t these editors cross check their own book?
