This 1916 ink drawing shows two theaters side by side on Market Street in Newark, New Jersey, between Washington and Halsey streets: the Strand, a movie house, and Proctor's Palace, a vaudeville and film venue. The pairing captures a moment when Market Street was becoming one of the city's main entertainment blocks, as silent films and live variety acts competed for the same crowds. Drawings like this one, held in the Library of Congress's architectural collections, record the planned layout and facade of buildings that shaped how urban audiences went out for an evening.
