Walter Reade
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Walter Reade Sr (1884-1952) was the man behind a chain of theatres which grew from a single theatre in Asbury Park, New Jersey to a chain of forty theatres and drive-ins in New Jersey, New York and neighboring states that lasted into the mid seventies. Known as the "Showman of The Shore," his name was associated with big, beautifully kept single movie theatres of Hollywood's golden age. He was born in 1884, lived in Deal, NJ, and considered Asbury Park the home base of his organization. He had six theatres there: The Mayfair, St. James, Lyric, Ocean, Paramount and Savoy. He soon became embroiled in fighting the corruption in Asbury Park from 1946 onward after he started a newspaper that had some unfavorable things to say about his adversaries.
