I recently attended a fascinating exhibit about Ingrid Bergman at Scandinavia House in the city.
There was a display of programs from plays she had appeared in around the world. One of the programs was from the "Maplewood Theatre" in Maplewood, NJ, where she had starred in a production of "Anna Christie" in September 1941. The program had advertisements for "Ye Olde Village Inn" at 139 S. Orange Ave., where Sunday dinners cost $1. There was another ad for "Crest Drive-In" at the top of S. Orange Ave. in South Orange.

The Ingrid Bergman exhibit is on view through July 17th. I highly recommend it. Scandinavia House is at 58 Park Avenue at 38th Street. Admission tickets are $3. The Website is www.scandinaviahouse.org

Was the Crest Drive Inn at the site of the old Grunning's? Or was actually on Crest Drive near the old fire house?

The ad in the program said "at the top of South Orange Avenue."
