I like the 1981 marquee better.A lot better.
A small photo of the Moorlyn’s facade and a slightly larger photo of one wall if the lobby can be seen at the lower left on this page of the March 7, 1936, issue of Boxoffice. The marquee in the 1936 photo was still there in the 1981 photo linked above, but it is gone in the more recent photo.
For sale, asking $5.5 million. The Strand is also listed at the same price. Frank Theatres still plans to operate both theaters for the 2011 summer season. Video story from NBC Philadelphia here.
This is a recent photo of the Moorlyn.

Here is a photo of the Moorlyn Theater.
i was just down there tuesday looking at some theater options, i run the broadway in pitman but the movies are slowly fading away despite my efforts to the live theater
Some years the Moorlyn has stayed open all winter, other times it hasn’t. The other Ocean City theater, the Strand, has been seasonal only for as long as I can remember.
do these shore theaters just run seasonal
Movies are showing on three screens per today’s AC Press. Phone number is 609-399-0006. Advertised as Moorlyn Stadium Theatre.
There are seven pages of photos of the Moorlyn Theater at this link. You can view them as a slideshow, or click on the next button for each page. After looking at the photos, I agree with Ken. This building is demolished.
Here is an undated photo. Atlantic Book Shops was a chain with stores in Atlantic City and Ocean City. I bought cheap sci-fi paperbacks at the AC store for years:

OPEN MOVIES AT MIDNIGHT.; Two Theatres at Ocean City Get Around Sunday-Closing Law.
NY Times September 7, 1925
OCEAN CITY, N.J., Sept. 6 — Ocean City had a new experience at midnight tonight when the Plaza and the Moorlyn moving picture houses opened for business. The owners of the theatres consulted with City Solicitor Boswell, who told them there could be no legal objection to shows starting Monday morning.
Closed/demolished?
