Although the 6 theaters remind me of sitting in a public school basement, the theater seems to doing a brisk business with it’s selection of films that very rarely play in other theaters.
They stopped making Cinerama films almost 40 years ago..forget that idea. If they showed wide screen epics it would be like any other theater and probably eventually close as so many neighborhood theaters have done over the years.
Leave it as it is..and besides, the popcorn is fresh made and great
It was a great theater in the 40’s and early 50’s when it was a single theater.
On a Saturday afternoon the placed was often filled to capacity because of the double feature, 10 cartoons, movie serial or the races. The races showed the worst stereotypes of all the ethnic minorities…would never be able to show those things today.
Does anyone remember the Regent Theater in Paterson? Had an very long and large lobby as I recall because there were two entrances from different streets.
do not recall any of the theaters you mentioned. I remember the Rivoli was was just south of Broadway I believe the only theater on Main Street was the U.S. I am going back to the early 40’s. When were the other theaters there? Also remember the Garden (Market) the Regent, State (down the side street from Quakenbush) the Fabian, and the Plaza.
Please let me know where the theaters you mentioned were, and when.
Does anyone remember the Majestic Theater in Paterson which was across thr street from the U.S? They used to show triple feature cowboy films at one time

Does anyone remember the Fine Arts Theater in Passaic which was originally the Lincon Theater? I think it was on Lexington Avenue.

I believe the correct spelling is Hyway. It seems like it had more than the 1064 seats originally listed.
uses to take a bus from Fair Lawn for a nickel to go to the movies in Paterson in the early 50’s when there were 8 theaters
