Opened at Main at Park on November 21st, 1945 as the Pix Newsreel theatre. Grand opening ad posted.
-The 2,073-seat Embassy theatre was at 349 Main Street, Orange, N.J. The 650-seat Pix (now a pizza center) was at 319 Main Street, orange, N.J. The 850-seat Colonial theatre was at 139 Main Street, off Park Street, Orange, N.J. The 1,400-seat Palace theatre was at 2 Main Street, Orange, N.J., at the East Orange, N.J. border.
@Teecee…Jim Thatcher’s post is incorrect. The building at the RIGHT of the view is the old Pix Newsreel, NOT the building at the left with the Pizza Center on the first floor. The Pix was already closed and vacant (but still surviving as a theater) as late as the 1960’s. This is not the same as the Embassy, which was located several blocks west. The Palace was several blocks east on the opposite side of Main Street.
I have an address of 139 Main.
TC;
My 1950 edition of Film Daily Yearbook gives a street address of the Pix Newsreel Theatre as 319 Main Street. The Embassy Theatre at 347 Main St had 1,915 seats.
1951 FDY lists an Embassy Theater at 347 Main Street. Is this the same theater?
