Title A name given to the resource Stanley Theater Casa Italiana Father Vincent Monella Center of Italian Culture at Seton Hall University Subject The topic of the resource theaters (buildings) Description An account of the resource The Stanley Theater is located in the Vailsburg section of Newark and was commissioned by the Stanley-Fabian company. Designed by local architect Frank Grad in the "atmospheric" style, this theater is important because it exemplifies a stage of movie-going experience that relied on architectural effects and trompe l'oeil to allude to the fantasy of the cinematic medium. The front facade and the whole theater are based on recreating a Spanish atmosphere. At the front facade, the central bay is articulated through its shaped gable that culminates in a broken bonnet parapet. The front entrance is covered with a prominent marquee suspended from two rods springing from terra-cotta oculi. The decorations in terra-cotta extend to the arcuated gallery colonnettes on side bays and solomonic columns framing side entrances. Wood brackets support overhanging eaves while above them extends a mission-tile covered roof. Inside, the theater is well-known for its lavish decorations and thematization, with a main auditorium that has a distinctive proscenium arch. Here, there is a clear similarity with the Stanley theater of Jersey City.
