Globe Theatre

This theatre opened as The New Nixon at Boardwalk between St. Charles Place and Delaware, in mid-July 1913. It was re-named the Globe in mid-July 1919.

The Globe theatre opened on April 14th, 1919, with “Sinbad”. Grand opening ad posted.

My mom was a cashier, at the Globe, in the late 30’s. She worked there during the Summer. She lived in Philly. She met my dad there. He was from NYC.

Is the current building there still the original globe? Or was it torn down and replaced? They do look somewhat similar.

Many thanks residents for the above URLs and informative posts. I’d like to share with site visitors a web page regarding one European (actually German) vaudeville act called the Six Rockets that passed through Atlantic City on a couple of occasions. The page here: View link links up many vintage photos from the Act’s two visits there, although sadly none are from inside any theatre itself and rather reveals what an act was up to when not on the stage.

However, I would like to take this opportunity to enquire whether CT readers may know whether some theatres more than others among Atlantic City’s vaudeville houses may have hosted German or European acts (if that’s a possibility at all). A number of the city’s residents claimed German ancestry, so would some houses like the Globe perhaps have catered rather more for the German speaking community? From the German Programm that the girls can be seen reading here: View link it would appear so.

Any suggestions or thoughts are more than welcome. Thank you very much in advance and I trust this post is useful to visitors.

Can anyone pinpoint for me, please, which of the two corners this was on? Did it face the ocean or was it on St. Charles Place?

There used to be a great group of posts here, but I guess an internet glich wiped thm out. Hopefully, the automatic email system will forward this poet to the former posters, and they will re-post.
I’m a Three Stooges researcher, who finally found out what happened to Burlesque dancer & talking woman Dorothy DeHaven, who was in the Stooge’s 1946 short “Three Little Pirates”.
I have been searching for information about the Globe, and the filming of a Burlesque ahow there in 1961, called “Scanty Panties”. It starred Virginia “Ding Dong” Bell, Billy “Cheese and Crackers” Hagan, Maxie Furman and Alma Maiben, among others.
Anyone with ANY information, please email me at Thanks,
