Was here once in the 1970s. Dad took me to see “Support Your Local Gunfighter” — a comedy western. I remember the two big fans and the lack of air-conditioning. It was old and plain. I liked it.
Listed in the 1944 Film Daily Yearbook as closed with 540 seats.
Listed in the 1951 & 1956 versions with 248 seats. None list a street address. Perhaps there was a larger predecessor theatre of the same name?
1975 Thomas Carr and Earle Heckeroth Jr., who one year ago purchased the Algonquin Theater, take over operation of the Lavallette Cinema in April.

“Despite this laissez-faire attitude toward history, much of old Lavallette remains; of particular interest are the Lavallette Hotel on Grand Central Avenue and the Lavallette Theater to the south, whose stucco alterations suggest an effort to streamline and modernize."

The name of the town should have two “L"s. Lavallette, NJ 08735 That raises a question, does the name of this theater have two "L"s also?
