Trans-Lux Theatre

Playland Park, an amusement complex still operating in Westchester County near NYC, was home to this Trans-Lux cinema, which first opened on May 2nd, 1931. The 45-minute programs of newsreels and cartoons changed twice weekly. Variety described the theatre as “The Roxy of the Trans-Lux Circuit” because it had more seats than all of the other T-L sites combined.

More information is needed about its history. I doubt that it survived very long in the wake of the Depression.
