Petco now occupies this space, not Amazing Savings.

I went there all the time in the 1950s and 60s. We lived in West Orange, but my dad had a store on Main St. in Orange, and was friends with Adolph Finkelstein, the Embassy’s manager, so we didn’t even have to pay the meager admission fee.lol I remember seeing Jerry Lewis movies there, “The Geisha Boy,” among others. I also saw westerns, Elvis Presley movies, and all the major films of the day, sometimes alone or with my brother, and sometimes with my parents. I f I remember correctly, when you walked through the lobby, you had to turn right to walk down the aisles of the theater toward the screen. It is sad that this grand old theater did not survive. It would have made a great concert venue ala the Wellmont in Montclair.
