You’re in the Navy Now is a 1951 American war/comedy film about the United States Navy in the first months of World War II. The film was directed by Henry Hathaway and stars Gary Cooper and Jane Greer. Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin and Harvey Lembeck appear in their film debuts in minor roles as crewmen. The econd feature was Gambling House, a 1951 American crime film noir directed by Ted Tetzlaff and starring Victor Mature, Terry Moore and William Bendix.
The film shown on this 1922 image is The Affairs of Anatol, a 1921 American silent comedy-drama film directed by Cecil B. DeMille, starring Wallace Reid and Gloria Swanson.
Apparently, the Bellevue is on hold again. The newest investors have lease issues with the owner - which is why the previous owners left. COVID didn’t help the situation I’m sure.
The Montclair Film Festival montclairfilm.org had used the Clairidge, Wellmont and Bellevue as venues in 2019 and before.

Saw most of my childhood through my teen years movies here. The alternative was the Sanford Theater (which was a longer walk)

I’d love to see some photos of this theater. Does anyone know of any online, or can post any they have?
The building my still exist but it’s not a theater anymore.
In the late 1970’s, it became a $1 movie house showing newer films that had finished their first run. There were even occassional double bills.
The entire building and several adjoining building were demolished. As of 2004, it was an empty lot.
