The City Square Theatre opened as an open-air venue and was demolished after the 1914 season to make way for the new-build hardtop venue, the City Square Theatre. It launched on August 28, 1915 with “The Unbroken Road.” Pearson H. Hume was at the helm. Charles Hildinger, operator of city’s second Bijou Theatre, the Rialto, the Berkley, the Victory, the Royal, the Majestic, the Jefferson, the Garden, and the Strand - all in Trenton. It was offered for sale and doesn’t appear to have been converted for sound following its closure and sale ad in June of 1932.
