A second run Newark house owned by the late Madelaine Kridel which fell victim to the blight caused by the infamous Newark riots and closed in the late 1960's.

Remember this movie house it use to play spanish double features then it suddenly closed didn't know why till now. The building is still there and it has become a spanish pentecostal church now. I believe to have some pictures will post soon.

I think this is the building that housed Cornerstone Church and Positive Proof Ministries from 1989-1993.

I believe it was once, then it was put up for sale and a spanish congregation bought it.

Hi, if anyone has any slides, photos or films of the Plaza Theater, the Tivoli Theater or any of the downtown Newark movie palaces, please contact me. I'm making a documentary and cannot find much material on these theaters. Have found a few slides, and would be willing to share the scans with anyone who can help. I'm a filmmaker who was born in Newark, and attended all the theaters. Please respond to my direct e-mail address: ron@indieplex.org
Thanks, Ron Merk
