When I was a kid I saw Jim Reeves with my mother in I think it was the Mosque Theater in Newark NJ. I got his autograph on a large glossy photo. How can I find out who else appeared with him at the performance?

Are you sure he didn't appear at the Terrace Room in Newark? His handwritten travel diary lists that as occurring on Sept. 27, 1959. He had played the very famous Sunny Side Gardens in Queens, NY two nights before.

Jim also appeared at a venue near Newark in August 1960.

You are both correct. The Newark Symphony Hall was also know as "The Mosque". The Terrace Ballroom is on the lower level of the Symphony Hall and is one of the largest meeting places in Newark. Wb doesn't mention the approximate year, but if it was Sept. 27, 1959, the Louvin Brothers & Del Reeves were also on the show.

Thanks for the fast responses. Now that Im thinking back I think it was the terrace ballroom.
