This is the part of the above comment that sounds like babble:
This venue has been in violation of wrongful advertisment of product as non-profit organization exhibition conflict ad pages Two Rivers Times.flyers/etc in 1992.
“Legal” what on earth???
I don’t understand your 1st sentence and those movie titles. 1992? Are those films shown at this theater?
Are you legal counsel or representative for an entity involved? If so, can you please state YOUR name and position?
If you involved in an official capacity, who are you to state who’s in violation of what?
And, if you are, this website might not be the appropriate forum for such posts.
I’m not involved in any way as an attorney at law in this matter.
Warren, people then dressed up when they went to the movies, in cities, too, right? Philadelphia’s Boyd Theatre didn’t have stage shows, and the photos we have from then of people waiting in line or arriving also show people were dressed up.
Not so relevant for this website, but Bambergers set up in the 1960s or 1970s in suburban Philadelphia malls. Not Macy’s, as apparently parent company Federated thought the local New Jersey store would attract more customers than a NYC store.
Oh, and I’ve walked around in downtown Newark. Let’s hope it revives and the closed historic theaters that were not demolished have a chance to reopen.
Warren, that’s a rude comment. I hope the Reverand, and his church, which have so magnficiently maintained this glorious movie palace and made it available (at tours, concerts, etc) for the public to see and enjoy, both live on for a long, long time. They deserve the gratitude of all fans of historic movie palaces.
1999 Time Out (count about the same in more recent versions) of Time Out London says 520 seats in Aud 1; 2: 66, 3: 91, 4: 265, 5:171, 6: 204 and that (in 1999)screens 2 & 3 were air conditioned.
How was the theater divided up, in terms of which screens were placed in Stalls and in Circle and anywhere else? Where’s the 520 seat auditorium & what’s it like? (how big is the screen)
I can’t speak for long time advocates of the Paradise, but if somebody came to us (Friends of the Boyd in Philadelphia) and said they’d fund millions for the restoration, but contrary to Opening in 1928 (Boyd Theatre), it will be Boyd Theater, we’d be thrilled!
Any of you harping on this trivial point who didn’t actually fund the restoration of the Paradise? The funds did not come from Loews either (vintage photo posted in Intro.
Ed, as to theater vs US and theatre for the British, no, they did not.
You can find the Guidelines by visiting “Add Theaters”
Theater vs Theatre
When a theater name contains “theatre” or “theater”, use the name provided by the theater in question. Do not deviate from a theater’s official name or listing.
When referring to a theater in the generic sense, always use “theater” â€" unless you are referring to a theater by its name.
For European theaters, as well as those in Australia, the term “cinema” should be used instead of “theater” or “theatre”.
I’ve read too many comments above- and on other theater pages, about the “theater” vs. theatre" spelling. ENOUGH! Please- NO more debates about this trivial point. This movie palace was saved, restored, and reopened! That should be enough.
The official website says Paradise Theater, with no “Utopia” in front.

Ah, I meant to ask “If you are not involved in an official capacity….”

Yes, a very wonderful photo! Love the curtain.

Enjoy the new Intro.

Stevebob, that’s what the press reports about the lobby. What’s your version?
Maybe for the East Coast, but not world premiere,

actually demolished January 2002. A few months later, I saw the empty lot.
I can assure you that this will be deleted, probably this very weekend.
MikeRa- That dramatic ending is already in the Introduction.
I liked the comments, William. Thank you!
are you saying now that your first reliable source was wrong?
How can it be a “recent” photo if the theater is demolished?
Ceasar,
I just googled “metromarket” but it is not a word.
What do you mean “some cinemas often schedule like one showtime” Please link to a website of a cinema doing such with a film in its 1st week of issue.
Are you making this up as you go along starting with the Trump casino?
Define “robbed” since it is an indoor mall with security. I doubt it means armed robbery.
Thanks, Ken, for this great write-up, yet another wonderful asset of this website.
Many thanks are due Ken Roe for the wonderful new Introduction posted yesterday! Previously, there was NO introduction.

Such a beautiful photo on the Cinema Treasures homepage!
Donald Trump is not going to buy the Franklin Mills and turn it into a casino. The stadium seated AMC movie theater there continues to operate.
