25 pensamientos sobre “Antiguos cines de Camden, Nueva Jersey”

1. Thank you referencing work and presentation!

2. Wow, you took me back to my childhood. I have a movie stub for the Midway Theatre. Thanks for showing a positive side of Camden, NJ.

3. Tell everyone why they closed!
   Look what moved in and destroyed Camden. Tell it like it is. They destroyed every city there is

4. Rio Theater was in Cramer Hill. It was in back of where I lived on Lincoln Ave.

5. Wow ?

6. What about the Savar a block away from the Stanley on market street

7. There's all this culture and history in Jersey. Was an altogether awesome place to go to school. Giant be wishes for residents to see opportunities in all areas of OUR great country and state. The classics would only have it that way.

8. Walt Whitman theater, between 46st +47th street, on Westfield Ave. Hung out with my still lifelong friends there for many yrs. Long live Otis Westfield (aka Jimmy Stuart R.I.P.) The wall, Vince’s, the Rexall…Doc and Caesar, and the mat on many a cold night. Nobody beats O.W. Boys. Peace, Rocky.

9. Camden was once beautiful. Some of the African Americans weren't the only ones who brought it down. People from all races are the ones who brought it down. Now, were working on restoring it. Guess who's working on restoring Camden? People of all races are working on restoring Camden. We do have a lot of abandon homes, but we also still have some nice neighborhoods all over Camden. There are some of us still residing in the city and trying to keep it nice. Some of our children who weren't raise right is trying to mess up the decent areas all over Camden. We as the people are trying to stop all: the drug users, the drug dealers, and the children who weren't taught to keep things nice in the neighborhood. When we all work together, Camden will be just as nice as anywhere else to live. I think people need to stop saying " the blacks" brought Camden down. It's everyone who helped bring it down.

10. Then the cops killed that man which started the riots and the gov brought crack in …typical American stuff but let's blame blacks for the whites sabotage

11. Very informative. Thanks

12. i remember the arlo when it was an abandon building in the eighties now its a lot

13. what's the title of score that plays in the beginning of this video?

14. Nor'cmd allday

15. The Walt Whitman in Pennsauken – truly a spectacular building – the inside was amazing. I spent a lot of my youth seeing films there. My children think it's amazing that I saw Jaws the summer it came out – there. What a tragedy that they let the building be demolished 

16. I loved this video! ..In the 70's I ran projectors in Trenton for RKO Stanley Warner, & in Atlantic City, Ventnor & Margate for the Hamids, Franks, & Tannenbaum.

17. Many thanks, Allen, Brent, Hoag, & Camden County Historical Society. I'm almost finished writing a book on Camden and came here to check out some of the theaters my mother (born in 1913 in Philly) spent many Saturdays in while growing up in Fairview. I always enjoy listening to Allen's research. As others wrote, everyone interested in old theaters should visit/see a show at the Broadway in Pitman, which has been beautifully restored and still has the theater organ.

18. My husband was from North Camden and I met him when I worked on weekends (for the regular cashier on breaks) at the Arlo. I also did the same for the Broadway and the one down the street from the Arlo. They were run by the Varbalow company. Michael Landon's father worked for the company. Back then it was safe to walk on the streets of Camden. I wouldn't do it today. Memories are great!

19. Old movie theaters are great. Thanks for the video!

20. At first I was like: Al Pacino? Really?? 😀

21. I'm from Camden NJ and some of these buildings are still there, like the Star and there is another one further up on Broadway, but I can't think of the name, and there's the North Camden which is now a church in North Camden

22. Our ghost crew would LOVE to investigate any of these that may still exist contact me hitoyou909 on yaho

23. cool! thanks for this
    I recall going to the Walt Whitman many a Saturday
    or Sunday matinee

24. what a wonderful opportunity to remember the great old cinemas – thank you, Allen, for this video, from someone who knows the Fox in Atlanta and the Tennessee in Knoxville (and the lovely Broadway in Pitman, JEJennings!)

25. For anyone who would like to see a beautiful old movie house I suggest they visit the Broadway Theater in Pitman. It's in pretty good shape and is again hosting concerts and theatrical presentations. It also houses a gem of a Kimball theater organ maintained in playing condition by the local theater organ assocation.
