I wonder if this item from the October 10, 1925 issue of Motion Picture News could have been about the Strand?
November 9th, 1959 grand opening ad as Baronet in photo section.
This was right north of the Paramount, but the address is just a large empty space now – all covered in grass.

This theatre was renamed the Baronet about 1952, as was the Ocean in Asbury Park, when Walter Reade did major renovations to most of his theatres, and the chaser Baronet signs from Reade’s Baronet in NYC went to the two new Baronets, one to each theatre.
This theatre was DEMOLISHED in the mid 1990s.
