| The Aladdin (
AKA Booker T ) was a smaller theatre in West
Baltimore City , which operated for several years,
later going under the name of the Booker T in the
1930's. The theatre also went under the name of the
New Queen for a few years. The Univeristy of
Maryland Medical Complex is growing down Baltimore
Street and the building was razed a few years ago
and the site is currently part of the Hospital.

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 this block has been
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. |
