Proctor's Majestic theater stood on Madison Avenue near Smith Street in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, and this ink drawing shows it as its designers planned it in 1920. The Proctor name links the house to the vaudeville circuit that F. F. Proctor built across the Northeast, where live acts and motion pictures often shared a single bill. The record tags it as a motion picture theater as well, a sign that by 1920 films had become the main draw in houses like this one. The drawing is held in the Library of Congress's architecture and engineering collection, so it records the building's intended layout rather than how it looked after years of use.
