This was a small theatre on Princeton Avenue. The interesting thing is that the theatre seemed to be related to the Rialto Theatre on Parkway Avenue. A bicycler would carry the reels between the Rialto Theatre and the American Theatre. I suspect that the owners of the two theatres only paid for the presentation at the Rialto Theatre. The booth in the American Theatre remained and was used as the office for the little theatre. The American Theatre was not used as a theatre after the 1940’s.
The little theatre became a Tracy’s Five and Dime store. It was very crowded with merchandise and narrow aisles. The store retained the sloping theatre floor.
