1937: NORTH BROAD STREET AND THE GARDEN THEATER

They say if you wait long enough and are patient, you will ultimately find one or more of the many things you search for. So it is with this photo. I have been after a photo of Trenton's Garden Theater for many years. I stumbled upon it quite by accident and am happy to post it herewith. The Garden was one of the "economy" theaters back in the day, as were the Gaiety and Centre, The theater had an inglorious end when X rated movies were featured.

HI TOM....WE SAW A LOT OF THE GARDEN THEATRE IN THE 50'S. IT WAS NEXT DOOR TO MEL BLATT'S STORE WHO INSTALLED THE BOWLING LANES AT THE HAMILTON BOWLING CENTER IN 1955. THE GARDEN SHOWED WHAT MOST OF THE OTHER SMALL THEATRES DID, X RATED AND FORGIGN MOVIES. IN 1937 I HAD A BUSY TIME PLAYING BASEBALL AND DID'NT GO TO THE MOVIES OFTEN. BEST REGARDS.
