Here is an undated photo. Atlantic Book Shops was a chain with stores in Atlantic City and Ocean City. I bought cheap sci-fi paperbacks at the AC store for years:

Star Wars is opening at the Moorlyn Wed evening at midnight. Ths Strand 5 is also open
The original single screen Moorlyn Theatre is listed in Film Daily Yearbooks with a seating capacity of 1,750.
Hey i heard the moorlyn is getting Starwars ep 3
does anyone know if they will have a midnight show?
but we all know who the best manager you ever had was, right?
i tell you what i thought stuff over and i will promise to come back
if the franks get rid of that bitch Brittany.
She is the worse manager i ever had.
This was still a pretty big place as a twin.

What are they doing to the Strandm making stadium seating? Frank theaters ruined that theater years ago when they made 5 theaters out of that beautiful single auditorium. They did the same thing to all the theaters in Wildwood, NJ. When I worked for them back in 1976 they sucked.
the strand is being renovated.
still
5 screens
i guess they open in early april or may
but the morlyun is open
besides about the “fireball” sound
i still can’t believe i got stopped by a cop for that.
Is the Strand still open or did they close for the winter. I know since they made it 5 theaters ( and ruined it) they stayed open all year round
Oh yes, there are 767 seats in the Moorlyn 4, and the chain is Frank Family Theatres.
JesseT- when are you coming back to do the fireball? We miss you over here. AND… something I forgot to say, you can also come here to set up a birthday party. Just ask for Brittany or Tom, and we’ll hook something up for you. Later!
Everyone who thinks that the Moorlyn 4 is awesome should post on the shoobies.com site- someone on there gave this theatre some grief. Oh, and about birthday parties, group tix, etc, you can go on the website (franktheatre.com) for info and numbers to call to set stuff like that up. Seriously, though, the employee that posted was right- if people don’t go to the movies here, the theatre will close. And the reason that the movies there aren’t that great is because they have no business and the film companies won’t open pictures in theatres that have no customers. So, if you want the theatre to stay open, and you want to see the new movies, come as often as possible.
thanks andyt
i only speak the truth about this theatre.
i believe the more people know about something nice they may actually try it out and like it.
If people know nothing about nice places they simply don’t go.
As far as enthusiasm one boss told me once i had a little too much enthusiasm. I did not agree with them but i shut up.
But there have been times i have gone overboard. I get a little loud sometimes. As far as next summer i have no clue dude but i hope to be back.
It is just great to know that there are sites like this that exist to let the people know about theatres both then and now.
A friend of mine rode by the Somers point theatre the other day and they said the theatre in that city was gone.
Another reason that this website is great.
I never went there but i heard nice stuff about it.
Oh get this i heard the moorlyn had a promotion
last weekend.
O.C.H.S. WEEKEND
They were giving away popcorn to students from that school who showed their ID.
Man i hope they keep that s—– up. Stuff like that bring kids out.
But then again did u see the list of movies they have?/had?!!!?….
later
Jesset—-thank you for sharing your information on the Moorlyn. I wish everyone in the theater business had your enthusiasm. Keep it up — I’m sure you are an important part of a great movie-going experience. See you next summer!
THey also might be called the Towne Stadium Megaplex.
Oh and I hear the Morlyn gives the birthday kids there name in the Marque for free.
Wow what a birthday gift that is.
They can tell everyone they were the star at the theatre that day.
yes they do birthday parties
but you have to go and/or call the corporate office
in eht/pleastantville
if you go into the theatre the management at the moorlyn
should have the numbers and the names of the people you need to make arangements with.
Some parties can be made before the theatre opens.
A real private movie party.
the “mother” theatre for the Frank Theatres i beleive
is at and near the shore mall.
Known as the Towne 16 theatre or Towne Stadium 16.
The corporate office is out there.
They also have Group discount tickets.
Does anyone know if they do birthday parties? I am trying to come up with something for a 10 year old girl party the end of Feb.
This is a great theater and I hope they stay open year round—its easy to get to from Somers Point and less hassle then going through EHT to get to one of the other ones. We love the seating and the workers are very nice.
