Old and unrestored theatres are all around us and yet so unnoticed. A new photobook unveils their often

overlooked beauty.

Proctor’s Theatre, Newark, New Jersey

Although available outdoors from street sellers, food was banned in theatres to display respectability. In the

late 1920s, however, the operators in Proctor’s Theatre in Newark began to set up stands to improve the economic

situation during the Great Depression. Popcorn and Coke would become a significant part of the theatre’s income.

Proctor’s Theatre, Troy, New York

Originally opened as Proctor’s Fourth Street Theatre in 1914

it hosted famous comedians such as Jack

Benny and Bob Hope. From 1929, it was successively taken over, renamed as Proctor’s Troy Theatre and switched

to screening films. In the 1960s, it began playing second-run films before closing in 1977. It was listed on the

National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1979. In 2010, the theatre was repaired but is currently not being

used today.

RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre, New York

Originally opened in 1928, RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre was designed by Thomas Lamb. In 1982, it was

listed on the NRHP. In 1986, the theatre was bought and closed by its new owner who planned to build a shopping

centre on the site, intentionally damaging the hall. In 2019, despite the preservation efforts, the hall was knocked

down to make way for a residential tower block.

Metropolitan Opera House, Philadelphia

The theatre was originally opened as the Philadelphia Opera House in 1908. In the 1920s, it was renamed as

the Metropolitan Opera House, showing silent films in addition to hosting various opera companies. In the 1940s, it

became a sports arena. In 1954, it was turned into a church. In the late 1990s, the building was purchased by Mark

Hatcher. The church and the developer came to an agreement on a repair for a music venue that was completed and

reopened in 2018.

21. In the late 1920s, Proctor’s Theatre in Newark set up stands to ________.

A. show respect for the guests B. increase the theatre’s income
