| The Aladdin
Theatre was a smaller theater in West Baltimore City which operated
for several years around the 1920's, going by the name of the "Booker
T" in the 1930's. The theatre also went by the name of the New
Queen Theatre for a few years. The building no longer stands, but
survived into the 1990's, being used as offices, before it was finally
razed. ...................................................................................... |
| You would not recognize
the area in the photo above after years of the University of Maryland
Medical System expanding down West Baltimore Street . Here is a picture
of the site in 2004. .......................................................................

| I was able to locate old 1930's
ads for the Aladdin Theatre, as seen on the below, and the Booker T, also below, where the ad mentions " Free : $40. in
Groceries Every Thursday - Twice Nightly " .The third ad below, for the movie " Hold Your Man, mentions under
the theatre name, " formerly the New Queen Theatre " in
the ad. The University of Maryland Hospital complex has been expanding
West, and the 600 and 700 blocks of West Baltimore Street have already
been incorporated, and I'm quite sure this block will be included in future
plans for the hospital. As of 2010, the entire block has been included into
the University of Maryland Health System. The small alley that runs along
side the theatre is Amity Street. |
