Roxy Theater

I forgot to add…though a small house…it consistently lead the boxoffice receipts in Variety as one of the “larger grossing houses” for it size week after week in the 1950’s…often playing a single feature from 6 to 13 weeks! And in 1959…it was completely renovated and advertised that it had a new…deeper wider screen! I can attest to that fact…since it gave the “illusion” of being a much larger theatre with this deeper screen and was somehow always “exciting” to see a movie there. They also used to advertise with this paraphrased slogan: “Pictures are just better at the Roxy…there’s a reason!” And it was true!
