I’m still looking for moving images (film or video) of the Tivoli Theater while still in operation. Also can use slides or photos. Getting ready to finish my documentary about Newark theaters, and really need to find some material on this theater. Can anyone help? Please contact me my e-mail: . Thanks so much for any help you can provide. Ron Merk
I have recently made contact with the granddaughter of one of the owners of the theater, Harry
Aaron Kridel (who owned numerous NJ theaters) andthe last operator of the theater, his daughter, Madeleine Kridel) and have been given access to photos of the theater, and family members. But the real “cinema treasure” is that the family had 16mm movies of the front of the theater, and of a float in the Roseville Punkin' Parade advertising a “horror show” at the theater, and some footage of “monsters” in front of theater. Most in black and white, but some in color. This material is perfect for my documentary film. But I’m still looking for material on the Tivoli as well as downtown theaters. Moving images really needed, but stills or slides will also be fine. Please help if you can.
Hi,
I’m still working on my documentary about Newark and the wonderful movie theaters that I attended in my youth during the late 50s and early 60s. If anyone has any photos or film of the Plaza, Tivoli or downtown movie palaces, please contact me at . Thanks so much. By the way, dropped by the Plaza one Sunday morning a few years ago, and was invited in my the church people. I was pleased to see that they have taken very good care of the interior. Spent many Saturday afternoons here as a kid. Thanks, Ron Merk

Hi, I’m still working on the theaters of Newark project, but have really run in to a wall trying to find photos and/or film of Newark’s theaters in operation during their heyday from the 1940s through late 50s. Has anyone been able to locate anything? As part of my project about Newark, I recently bought 50 feet of 16mm kodacrhome film of the Bamberger’s Thanksgiving Parade in 1944. Stuff about Newark is really scarce. Any help, please write me at Thanks.
Hi, if anyone has any slides, photos or films of the Plaza Theater, the Tivoli Theater or any of the downtown Newark movie palaces, please contact me.

I’m a filmmaker who was born in Newark, and attended all the theaters. Please respond to my direct e-mail address:
