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. I was able to locate old
1930's ads for the Aladdin Theatre, as seen on the left, and the Booker T, above, where the ad mentions " Free : $40. in Groceries
Every Thursday - Twice Nightly " .The 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.
