JERSEY CITY, NJ — Come to The Landmark Loew’s Jersey next Saturday and Have an Old-Fashioned Visit with Santa. Then, Enjoy Classic Movies for The Whole Family!
Saturday, December 10
12 PM to 3 PM: Santa returns for the 11th season to the Grand Lobby of the Landmark Loew’s Jersey Theatre to hear Holiday wishes from boys and girls. A visit with Santa is free. A digital photo with him is just $2.00 — but if you bring a new, unwrapped toy for a needy child, the photo is free as our thank you. (Toys will be distributed by the St. Francis of Assisi Fraternity/Secular Franciscan Order of Jersey City.) Plus — every kid who sees Santa will get a $1.00 discount for either of our two movie screenings later that day.
3:30 PM to 6:20 PM DOUBLE FEATURE! Plus A Classic Holiday Cartoon: Laurel & Hardy’s
“Babes In Toyland” — a.k.a. “March of the Wooden Soldiers” — (1934) is a Holiday tradition in the Metropolitan Area. It will be screened in a rare, uncut 16mm print that includes the seldom-seen original opening sequence. It will be followed at 4:55 PM by another perennial favorite of the season, Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol” (1938) starring Reginald Owen as Scrooge, shown in a near-mint 35mm print. PLUS — “The Little Match Girl” — a rarely seen Columbia Pictures cartoon from 1937, shown in 35mm. Tickets for this double feature are $6 for adults, $4 for seniors and children 12 years old and under.
7:40 PM to 9:30 PM: A timeless classic enjoyed across the generations, “The Wizard of Oz” (1939) will be shown in 35 mm with a classic Tom & Jerry cartoon, “The Night Before Christmas”, also in 35 mm. Tickets for this screening are $6 for adults, $4 for seniors and children 12 years of age and younger.
The Loew’s is easily reached from throughout the Metropolitan Area, at 54 Journal Square, directly across from the J.S.Q. PATH station, and minutes from the N.J. Turnpike, Holland Tunnel, Rts. 1 & 9 and Rt. 3. Half price parking is available for Loew’s patrons in Square Ramp Garage, directly behind the Theatre.
