Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Baby Bubbles photo appears to have been taken in the 1950s. The marquee advertises the Joe Louis-Primo Carnera fight, which took place on 6/25/35. The marquee might have been used for a film shoot when the picture was taken.

The sign on the marquee in Lost Memory’s photo says “Stop the Suffering”. I think the theater is crying out for help as it doesn’t know if it’s supposed to be a department store, a Mexican church or a movie theater.

There was also a single theater called Naz Cinema which was located at 37411 Fremont Boulevard. That theater is now occupied by a church.

The theater opened in 1963 and had a capacity for 1258 cars.

Speaking only for myself, your interest in the theater is appreciated. I could do without the religious propaganda, though. Plenty of other websites for that.

No wonder I couldn’t find this theater by name. Who knew there was an apostrophe in the middle?

I used to take the El from West Philly to the last stop (Market/Frankford or Bridge/Pratt, I can’t recall)and then the bus to Welsh Road and Roosevelt Boulevard to see my gal. I remember that I could see a number of old theaters on either side of the train en route. On my return trip, I used to wait in a phone booth on the corner of Welsh Road as the bus was sporadic at night. In the winter, that phone booth saved me from hypothermia. The night bus was usually full of nurses from Byberry, the mental hospital up the road. Is Byberry still in existence?

Here is the layout on Market Street in the late 1970’s, when I was in college. Forgive me if some of the theaters are misplaced. Walking from City Hall to 30th Street, the Fox was of course on the south side of Market at 15th, followed by a few adult film houses. There was at least one adult theater between 17th and 18th on the north side of Market. There was another adult theater on the south side of Market between 22nd and 23rd. I don’t recall seeing the World, but then again I can’t recall any theater names except the Fox.

I noticed that the photobucket links have an expiration date for some reason. Most of the previous photos posted are no longer available.

The Ambassador is now gone. Part of the pantry was taken to storage somewhere due to its historical value. The rest of the hotel has been razed.

I was in Atlantic City at the beginning of the year. There is now a large shopping mall around the area of Columbus Park, Missouri and Atlantic Avenues.
