Last New Jersey drive-in closes to become shopping-center site
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — New Jersey's last drive-in theater is shutting down this week, continuing the trend away from outdoor movie lots and toward indoor theaters.
The Associated Press
After tomorrow's last feature, National Amusements of Dedham, Mass, plans to convert its Route 35 Drive-In in Hazel Township into a shopping center, which will include a 12-screen theater.
"When my kids were small, we used to pack them in and take them to the drive-in, said Hazel Township May-ler. "We have to miss it, but you can't stop progress."
Drive-ins enjoyed a heyday in the 1940s and 1950s, when suburban land was cheap. But when land costs rose, it no longer made economic sense for companies such as National Amusements to devote dozens of acres to an enterprise open only during warm months.
Jim Kozak, representative for the National Association of Theater Owners of Los Angeles, said about 4,000 drive-ins operated nationwide in the late '50s.
The number has dropped to about 900 this year, Kozak said. He said the decline slowed recently because drive-ins remained popular in Sun Belt states where the theaters could operate for most of the year.
Bruce Austin, a communications professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, N.Y., said moviegoing had changed.
"If you tell somebody you saw a movie last night, they ask if it was on a video cassette, HBO, broadcast television, pay-per-view or in the theater," said Austin, who wrote a mid-1980s study of drive-ins. "Today, a frequent moviegoer (is someone who goes) once a month.
"It wasn't uncommon in the 1940s to go three or four times a week."
The closing of the Route 35 Drive-In comes 58 years after the first drive-in in the nation opened in Camden, N.J.
Austin, who grew up in Plainfield, N.J., said post-World War II New-Jer
sey was a great spot for drive-ins because of its sprawling tracts of undeveloped land.
"New Jersey for years was kind of a sleepy little state," Austin said. "Gas rationing ended, auto manufacturing zoomed and people had tons of kids. Drive-ins were accessible for people moving into the area."
Austin doesn't see much reason for nostalgia, though.
Tomorrow night there will be a groundbreaking for the new shopping center, followed by the drive-in's last presentations, which are rurs from its early days.
"It's something you can't help," he said. "They want the land for something else. If people were so enamored they would be going a little more often.
The last movies will be "The Girl Can't Help It," a 1956 film starring Jayne Mansfield, Fats Domino, Little Richard and the Platters, and "The Fly," a 1958 film starring Vincent Price.
Two firefighters die in explosion in four-alarm restaurant fire
The blaze was reported shortly after midnight Sunday. It took firefighters from four departments almost four hours to bring the fire under control, Augustine said. The restaurant was destroyed.
The Associated Press
"The rest of the group were able to escape, but (Sapp and Wilkes) were captured," Augustine said.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. — An explosion during a restaurant fire killed two firefighters early yesterday, officials said.
TV special with Yeltsin Gorbachev is postponed
Firefighters Douglas J. Sapp and Mark Wilkes, both 28 were caught in a "flashover" as they entered Stormy's, a seafood restaurant, officials said.
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — ABC postponed its special broadcast set for early today in which Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and Russian President Boris Yeltsin were to take questions from U.S. viewers.
Gorbachev and Yeltsin requested postponement of the live "ABC News Town Hall" telecast until the Congress of People's Deputies finishes its current session, ABC News President Roone Arledge said from Moscow.
A flashover happens when a fire becomes so hot it runs
Network representative Sherlie Rollins said that the two leaders said the Congress could conclude as early as tomorrow
The program, moderated by Peter Jennings, was to have started at around 11:30 p.m. last night, after Monday night football.
Questions would have been asked by people in studio audiences in New York, Philadelphia, Miami, Houston, Chicago, Los Angeles and possibly five other cities.

Teachers
are better than tapes
THE PRINCETON REVIEW
Some test prep services seem to have an almost fanatical fondness for audio tapes. If you miss a class, they hand you a tape. Need extra help? More tapes! Heck, they even train their teachers with the darn things.
At The Princeton Review, we believe that teachers are better than tapes. A well-trained teacher will answer your questions, focus on your problem areas, and even smile on occasion. That's why our students receive FREE Extra-Help ... with their teachers, not tapes.
LSAT, GRE and GMAT classes forming now. Call today for more information.
