I remember the Carlton (now the Count Basie). We lived in Middletown at the time and my brother was an usher at the Carlton in the early-to-mid 1960’s. Saw “Bambi” there for the first time (I was about 5 yrs old) from the balcony seats; my brother yelled at me for tossing bits of popcorn over the rail on the audience on the main floor.
After “Herbie the Love Bug”, never had reason to go there again; usually saw movies at the Walter Reade in Middletown or the Route 35 Drive-In in nearby Hazlet (New Jersey’s last surviving drive-in until it was torn down and replaced by a multi-plex in 1992).
