The Bon Ton theater appears here in an ink drawing from 1933, showing a cinema on Newark Avenue near Grove Street in Jersey City. Drawings like this one record a building's plan and street front, so they reveal how a neighborhood house was laid out for its audience. In the 1930s, movies were the most popular evening entertainment in American towns, and theaters like this one served local blocks as well as downtown crowds. Jersey City's houses of that decade were shaped by sound film and the tight budgets of the Depression.
