This book about Bordentown states that the theater was first the Bordentonian, then the Fox and last the Sharon. I’m not sure if this link is going to hold up: http://tinyurl.com/2rfgj4
Luis, I haven’t been in Camden for many years. I remember that tower, but I couldn’t tell you if it’s still standing. Camden has had some tough times in the past twenty five years or so.
Because my mother refused to take the expressway from Jersey to Philly, we spent a lot of time getting lost in Camden when we were trying to find the Ben Franklin bridge using surface streets. I remember, vaguely, some theaters in Camden, but I think this one was gone before my time.
An Eddie Murphy film was playing at the Payret last year. If we’re still trying to demoralize the Cubans, showing them “Norbit” might do it: http://tinyurl.com/ywk53m

I like marquees. It’s subjective.
That’s a good question. Hopefully someone has an answer.

I also noted the Dix Drive-In in Bordentown, presumably gone by now.
I think it’s just a playhouse, no movies.

This looks like a playhouse, but then again they may be showing the Rocky Horror film, or perhaps a stage version. I can’t tell from the website.

I would say “lost cause”.

The windows look the same in both photos, as does the entrance. I would guess that some work has been done on the roof to add the cupolas.
