Keep an eye on this page. I am currently compiling and retrieving photos and articles on Trenton area theaters which in my many years of historical research has proven to be a very eagerly sought subject. I will be posting many photos going back to the early years. Many of these graphics have already been posted on this site and with 7,500 pages, and given the popularity of the subject I have decided to place them all on this page. Stay tuned; many more to come!
HI TOM....WHAT MANY PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IS THE TRENT THEATRE HAD BOWLING LANES DOWN STAIRS FROM THE THEATRE. FRED LENNING RAN THEM AND WE BOWLED THERE EVERY WEEK FOR A LONG TIME DURING THE EARLY 50'S. BOWLING IN THOSE DAYS WAS 25 CENTS A GAME. AFTER BOWLING WE PLAYED DARTS AND OTHER GAMES AT THE SALOONS. OUR GROUP INCLUDED TOM LADEN, THE COACH OF RIDER BASKETBALL AND DICK GRAY, WHO WAS IN POLITICS AFTER PLAYING GREAT BASKET BALL AT VILLANOVA. BEST REGARDS.
ReplyDeleteStunning photos and OH, what memories. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI WOULD LIKE TO ADD A GOOD WORD FOR GEORGE TEN EYKE. DURING THE DEPRESSION YEARS HE LET KIDS IN FREE ON SATURDAY MORNINGS. HE SHOWED MOSTLY COWBOY PICTURES AND OUR GANG COMEDY AND THE KIDS LOVED IT. PLUS, HE INSTALLED BOWLING LANES IN THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE BUILDING AND THAT'S WHERE MY BROTHEWR LOU AND I GOT STARTED IN THE BUSINESS MUCH LATER. REGARDS

You are very welcome Grace. Thank you for visiting the website. I hope you return often. With nearly 7,500 pages, using the "SEARCH: space directly under the home page. Also, over on the right is the Index. I have also found that going to Google and typing in tom glover Deutzville, or tom glover chambersburg, or tom glover nostalgia, etc. will sometimes bring quicker results.
