Tilton Square Theatre

The original theatre, before it was twinned, was a nice place to see a movie. The screen was very large (I don’t recall if it had movable
masking or not)and a good 60 feet in width. I also remember there being “surround” type speakers mounted on the walls of the auditorium
which leads me to believe that there was multi-track stereo and 70mm
capability (if anyone can confirm this, please feel free to comment).
When the Tilton was twinned, it was a typical “dark ages of twinning"
wall down the middle job, basically destroying a nice example of a
large, modern for its time, suburban movie house. The present Tilton
9 is a mixed bag. The original auditorium remains in its' narrow twinned state with the addition of digital sound (shrill and crackly w/ less than steller projection the last time I was there)the newer
stadium auditoriums are decent with good sound, projection, and acceptable size screens for their moderate size; as far as the remaining small auditoriums go, other than barely acceptable digital sound, the less said the better. I find it amazing that this place continually is awarded best theatre in the area by the AC Press. The Regal Hamilton Stadium 14 is pretty much a nice modern megaplex with
excellent sound, big screens in all the audtoriums, etc. Also, if anyone has been to the Town 16 at the Shore Mall since it was refurbished after a fire, I’d love to know if the place has gotten any better (it had become a real dump while run by Hoyt’s).

In my visit to the Titon, I found the auditoriums to be quite large, actually. The original house (single) was twinned, and the rest of the auditoriums are subsequent additions over time. Excellent concession stand.
