I loved going to the Stanley theater. I lived in Newark across the street from Seton Hall University and it was a short walk. I used to go there on Saturdays in the early 1960’s. I remember seeing “The Mole People” and “The Mysterians” there on the same bill. Admission was 25 cents/35 cents (matinee and evenings).They showed a lot of Hammer films with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as well as Abbott and Costello films too. I remember how vivid the color was on the Warner Bros. cartoons shown before the movies started. I saw “A Hard Days Night” there for the first time. It was located on S. Orange Ave. Nearby was Jimmy Buffs, a great italian hot dog spot. Bowla Bowla, a 2 story bowling alley was just down the street. ststestreet.
I remember the Claridge theater quite well. My parents used to take my sister and I there when we kids. I vividly remember seeing “It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World there in Cinerama (circa 1962) and "Windjammer” in Cinerama as well. Even though I lived in Newark and was closer to the Stanley, Castle and Sanford movie theaters, I visited the Claridge quite often. It was a great place to see a film back then. Just down the street was Grunnings Ice Cream, which was an awesome place to visit after the movie was over. It closed in the 1980’s I believe.
