The Hudson theater, at New York Avenue and Louis Street in Union City, New Jersey, is known here through an ink drawing from 1934 rather than a photograph of its façade or audiences. As a set of architectural plans, it shows the building's layout and construction more than its street life or ornament. Neighborhood movie houses like this one were a common part of Hudson County in the years between the wars, when films were the main evening entertainment for working families across the river from Manhattan. Drawings of this kind help show how such theaters were arranged for projection, seating and the movement of crowds.
