Opened on July 22, 1971 with Charlie Chaplin in “The Circus” and Walt Disney’s “Scandalous John” in Screen 1 and “The Andromeda Strain” in Screen 2. A third screen was added in 1982.
During the early-1980s, it was operated by Lathrop Co., who also operated the 4th Avenue, Fireweed, Denali, and Totem theaters. Act III was its last operator who closed the Polar on June 12, 1994.

On June 14, 1990, the New Paltz Cinema became the first ever movie theater in the northeast to screen Warren Beatty’s “Dick Tracy” on the same day as its production premiere at Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The film already had a benefit presentation at the Woodstock Theatre in Woodstock, Illinois, one day beforehand.
Hmmm, that’s weird. Showtimes from various New Jersey newspapers say that it was part of the Creative Entertainment chain. But I didn’t know it was private owners that used their service to book its films. That’s very strange!
