Sure would like to get Varietys grosses on the Music Hall in years past. To think I subscribed in the 50-60’s when the grosses were actually publised, and threw the issues out as soon as I read them. What a treasure they would be now. As well as all the Time Square grosses. Who knew that would become Nostalgia of another era. SAY GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY.

Would love a list of movies that played the Roxy after RAINS OF RANCHIPUR when the stage shows were re-instated. Someone earlier listed the titles and opening dates of the movies that played the Roxy from the inaugural CinemaScope THE ROBE.

Right about HAPPIEST MILLIONAIRE being road-shown. Worked as a film booker in San Francisco and I had to go back and track weekly grosses at the local United Artists Theatre Circuit for SOUND OF MUSIC which Disney would be comparing. lol..We opened MILLIONAIRE at the conclusion of MUSIC and it ran three weeks as a road-show. Then it was trimmed by 20 some odd minuets, a new print was shipped up and we replaced the road show version with it. It then ran on a CONTINUOUS basis for another couple of weeks and finally died. So much for copying by hand (before computers, mind you) all theose weekly grosses. All for naught….
