A barn-styled theater built as an outbuilding of the Barclay Center shopping plaza in the late-1950’s or early-1960’s. Originally a Walter Reade theater, it passed to General Cinema sometime after 1964. Tended to play second fiddle to GCC’s Cherry Hill Mall Cinema in terms of bookings. Very plain auditorium, no particular decor. Lasted into the early or mid-1980’s as a theater, then renovated into office and retail space.

Developer of Barclay Farms was Robert Scarborough. Originally envisioned as an art & foreign film theatre.
Saw Jaws, Popeye and a double feature of For Your Eyes Only & Tarzan The Ape Man…. now it’s Cutter’s Mill, A pet food store.
Does anyone know if the Community Theatre at Barclay Farms was of similuar shape and design to the long-gone Budco Theatres' Doylestown Barn Cinema/AMC Barn 5 Theatre?
I don’t know about the Doylestown theater, but this one was very similar to the Community Theater in Eatontown, New Jersey, pictured here.
I know this theatre closed 1982/1983 by it’s final operator, Budco Theatres
