This is a description for the item in the link posted above:
“This is a handbill from the Hights Theatre. It was located in Hightstown, New Jersey. The feature movie on this date was "Little Lord Faunteleroy” starring Freddie Barthmolomew and Delores Costello Barrymore with C. Audrey Smith, Guy Kibbee, Mickey Rooeny and Henry Stephenson
The feature cartoon was “Little Stranger” and the Fox Weekly News was also shown Other features that week included:
Your Uncle Dudley with Edward Everett Horton
Soak the Rich with Walter Connolly
The Trail of the Lonsome Pine with Sylvia Sidney, Fred MacMurray and Henry Fonda
Drift Fence with Zane Grey
The show bill is flat but does have a rough spot and a brown piece of paper glued to the back corner as though it was once in someone’s scrapbook".
Still open in the early 1970s:
“If you wanted to see a movie in the Trenton area at the beginning of the 1970s, you had a choice: In New Jersey, it was the Mayfair, Lincoln, Trent, Greenwood and Brunswick in Trenton; Capitol Plaza Cinema in Ewing; Eric Lawrenceville in Lawrence; Prince in West Windsor; and the Hights in Hightstown.”
