[@JonSudano]

Fun fact. On the roof adjacent to this abandoned theater, someone made graffiti viewable by satellite imagery. It's a famous quote taken from Song of Myself by Walt Whitman: "IF YOU WANT ME AGAIN LOOK FOR ME UNDER YOUR BOOT SOLES". It's fitting because of the state of decay the building is in, something about we come from dust and to dust we will return etc etc. Pretty interesting.

[@TheProperPeople]

That's great, I never noticed that. However it's even more fitting now since that adjacent building has since been demolished. We walked over the dirt lot where it once stood to access the theater.

[@smh1121sh]

The Proper People I figured that’s where you guys went in. After studying the map, it seems that building has likely prevented a lot of trespassing over the years. I would have expected a lot more vandalism for being abandoned so long.

[@diamondsprince]

Nice. I noticed on top of another building (northeast of the theater) in a similar font to the one you pointed out, it says "I WONT MAKE ANYMORE PROMISES EVER AGAIN." Any idea what that's all about? Couldn't find anything on Google...

Isn't it great to discover something you really like and realizing there's lots more? Although sometimes it's tough. I found an author I really liked, actually two, and began acquiring the books one or two at a time, (fortunately still in print so I could afford them) and eventually learned the authors were dead and when I had read them all there'd never be more. Fortunately I collect and keep all my books and I enjoy reading the same books many times.

[@EastTexasProductions]

The light that you are looking at around 22:45 is an old carbon arc light. Carbon arc's (as you probably know) work similar to a welding machine. A carbon rod would be inserted in the holder you see in the middle, with the little circle. The mirror in the back (which looks to be intact) would reflect the light outward. They were / are VERY bright and produced a very white light. Usually they were used for spotlights. They were, in that era, also used to light the projectors but this one doesn't look like it was designed for that. I'd bet this was a spotlight. Anyway, cool find. I had the almost unheard of privilege in the 80's to operate 2 old carbon arc projectors in a very old theater for a couple of weeks while the main projectionist was out sick. That's a story within itself though. lol . Very nice find!!!

[@jjburnzie]

My high school, when I attended in the late 80's was still using a carbon arc spot light and in 1986/87 went from a light board similar to the one shown backstage in the upper auditorium only much larger in my school to a computer controlled light system. But, I agree, those carbon arc lights are awesome!

I have had the grand pleasure in the last 65 years of my life to travel the world and see many places like this before they fall into ruins years later. My wife could not understand my fascination with castles and old churches until she took a trip with me years ago. I would like to thank you guys for the great job you did here. Sadly future generations will only know the world by their electronic devices of their time and all this will be lost to history. One thing that was not mentioned here (maybe because of the lost history) was that having built this before 1915 (over 100 years ago) so that it could open in 1915 ---- how did they do it? They did not have the sky cranes we have today. How did they lift those beams? Who laid on their back for weeks on end to do the painting? How much scaffolding was needed to build this? The building of something like this could be compared to the old steam trains (which I operated for a while) to the space shuttle. They had the want of the building but the also had to invent the technology to do it. History that will be never again, sad so very sad. Again thanks guys for all the danger you put yourselves in to bring this piece of history back. Great Job

[@entertainme7523]

I see the tools on the desks, the papers, the equipment and I think about the people that operated everything. Most of those theaters were 'grand' beautiful places, life moves on but it is sad they have fallen apart.

[@autumnrussell4794]

This was super cool to watch, especially knowing and having been in a lot of theatres!! the light you guys found around 22:47 looks to be an old spotlight, so that likely would have been up on the third floor of chairs, all the way in the back of the house. at 22:14, what you're actually looking at is the high steel of the building, so if they needed to rig something, they would have someone all the way up there running around on all of those. It's actually super stable, though I wouldn't trust it in its current condition. Around 24:40 you state that it's a tall theatre, but its typical for the size of a fly house (a theatre that is able to support flying objects in the space above the stage) for what I can tell. Amazing video!! I love getting to see things like this!

Most asbestos is harmless unless you come in direct contact with it, or don't actively breathe it in. That place is ventilated enough, and they didn't really brush that much on stuff that could possibly have it. If asbestos is in, for example, ceiling tiles, as long as you don't touch them or move them or cause any dust to fly out of them, it's safe.

[@Grungemann]

So you are aware on the particulars that get stir up by walking on top of it? and the drafts of air that you said the place is well ventilated? So everyone make sure you don't wear a respirator in a old fuck up building like this one because this lady is a expert! Thanks Steve 32 year in asbestos removal .

This was a fascinating trip into the past. The double decker theme reminds me of the history of a similar stacked live theatre here in Toronto. The Elgin and Wintergarden were such theatres, built in the early 20th century in downtown Toronto as vaudeville houses. They went through the same evolution as the one you explored. The upper theatre was simply boarded up mid-century and forgotten, while the main floor theatre continued on as a movie house. As more people stayed home to view movies on their giant TVs, the complex was purchased by a local empresario who completely restored the entire complex, returning it to its original state for live theatre. As luck would have it, the upper theatre was "rediscovered" frozen it time, much to the amazement of the restoration company. Toronto now boasts the last working double decker theatre in the world. Thank you so much for a walk through another stacked theatre complex.

Quite the story on this place. With a little research you'll find that the seating was reduced to 2309 in 1931, which means to me that it was starting to see degradation in the 30's. As you said, it closed in 1968. Thus, the decay. I think the marquee was inside because they were trying to erase the place for business since the new theater was where they wanted the publice to go. Also, I thought maybe the marquee may have been a hazard so they removed it before it fell. Interesting place though.

That proctor sign looks like the fallout title font

[@deathrow989]

@ktehmok obviously we know which one came first

[@Kurt_Outdoors]

This was just excellent!....I really enjoy old theatre explorations....but it is a bit sad to see the amazing architecture crumbling....good work guys!

[@fredjones614]

A great explore lads, an amazing place. Nice to see a lengthy video, thanks

[@internetkumquat4542]

I have yet to find disappointment in your videos since one of your firsts at the Titusville Mall in 2016? 2014? Good channel for years.

[@Jackh1212]

At 0:30 the adrenaline kicks in, theme song starts, Bryan and Michael appear in the shot and so begins another amazing episode! Who needs to take drugs when you can get high watching abandoned porn.

[@DarkExploration]

You're Damn right

[@lickmybunghole4351]

Being super baked while watching is amazing

[@amandajean7738]

I have been watching this channel for four months. It's so amazing. There's still beauty in decay.

He walks right in the elevator after mentioning the deadly counter weight issues and his nightmares with misaligned elevators. 😱

[@kr46428]

I thought the same thing, but I think he just stuck the camera in there.

[@Redrally]

Such a fantastic video! :O Why wasn't this a Forbidden Explorers episode?

[@tristanwoodmansee477]

It was once a beautiful place. Saw pics online as it was new. So sad how it decayed so badly. Great job filming guys

[@Billo1281]

This video was so awesome. This video really put me into the time that this building was made. Man I would have loved to do this type of thing. Thankfully you guys documented it.

[@gman21881]

[@joshuaayres121]

An abandoned place in New Jersey? Say it ain't so!

[@Thumpprr]

I lived not far from there for 19 years. Way back when, Newark was a factory town. But since industry has left, much of it is in a state of urban decay w/many abandoned properties. There are a few parts that have been revitalized. There were even some major race riots there a number of years ago. You can Google that and find plenty of info. It's not far from Manhattan, but it's not close enough to really be a convenient commute, either.

[@morganrodgers5076]

My favorite video you guys have done so far! Keep living the dream!

[@davidkelly8657]

It's a ghost of the memories of people who worked and enjoyed going to it for entertainment on a daily basis for those decades it was open.. Sad to think it is rotting away like that and one day may cease to exist due to the decay.. The video was amazing to watch and being unable to travel like I once did Thank You for letting me see it sort of like in person myself..

[@catcubus]

I approve of the bearded Proper People.

[@rolaroli]

Lol. I think they are cuter without beards. But whatever floats their boat, I guess.

[@EphemeralProductions]

Me too! Love a bearded guy
