From the 1920s a picture postcard view of Main Street Livingston and the Orpheum. Chuck I can’t find any history on this one. Certainly with the way theater names change it could have had different name(s), but this postcard makes me think that it must have at least started out as the Orpheum.

The name of this theatre should be the Park Theatre. It changed to the Park Theatre in 1938. It seated 686 and closed in 1954. So this thould be the Park Theatre with and AKA Orpheum Theatre.
