Summary

Description
English: Nedson Theater, 608 North New Street Allentown PA.
  • Opened in August 1914 as the Nedsen Theater, owned and operated by R. E. Bowen and H. E. Kelser. It was initially opened with a seating capacity of 416 seats. In June, 1915, it was taken over by James K. Bowen who owned the Pergola Theater at Ninth and Hamilton Street in Allentown. Bowen expanded the theater to 700 seats and added a second projector. Bowen also added evening showings of films shown during the day at the Pergola. It became the New Allen Theatre in 1926, and the Allen Theatre in 1934.
  • In the photo, the theater appears to be showing On Thin Ice, a 1925 Warner Brothers Film about a crook and his gang plan to con a young woman out of a cache of stolen loot they, and the police, believe she's hiding. The situation changes, however, when he falls in love with her and he sets out to save her from being imprisoned for a crime she did not commit.
