Have not personally seen this one. The theatre got its name from being located in the Ampere section of East Orange. Ampere came from the sprawling Crocker-Wheeler factory which manufactured electrical meters.

The Ampere was s small, intimate therter... difficult to find as its entrance was off on a side street, and the theater had no marquee to give it identity. Last I kew, the building housed a fraternal orginaztio s like the elks or some such.
