I remember Proctors from it’s final years as a Full Time Movie House, when I saw the Jerry lewis classic, Whose Minding The Store there, to the time in the early 1970’s when it was used for “Special Events” only, like Boxing Telecasts (in the days before Cable) and school programs.

Proctors, along with downtowns 2 other closed, but still standing movie palaces, The Adams, and the Newark-Paramount are all within a VERY short walk of the new Prudential Center Arena.
Perhaps NOW, one of them can be rescued.
