The Avalon had a unique marketing strategy…every Thursday during the Summer the local kids would show up in the morning at the theatre and get a supply of “movie circulars” that they would distribute throught Avalon and the neighboring towns of Stone Harbor and Sea Isle City. Their “pay” for this was a weekly pass to the movies !!
The Avalon had 585 seats, according to the 1949 Film Daily Year Book, which also describes the theatre as “seasonal,” probably meaning that it operated only during the summer months.
