While stationed at the shipyard in 1962&1968 I saw many films at the Roxy. It was a wonderful theatre. I remember haviny to wait in l;ine for up to 2 hours to 2 movies when they came ot. 1. The Graduate and 2. Guess whos coming to dinner. I am glad to see that the Roxy is still standing and has not gone the way of so many of our quaint an beautiful theatres around the country.

It is amazing how many theatres are named ROXY in imitation of the once famous name of the New York City panjandrum of the movie palace: Samual Lionel Rothapfel = “Roxy”. His namesake was the famous ROXY THEATRE in NYC, which outlasted him by only 25 years when it was demolished in 1960. The whole story is in that landmark book “The Best Remaining Seats: The Story of the Golden Age of the Movie Palace” by the late Ben M. Hall in 1961. Various editions of it are sometimes available from www.Amazon.com, but only the first edition contains the color plates.
