kencmcintyre commented about Roxy Theatre on Sep 21, 2007 at 6:46 pm

Maybe it wasn’t. The 1963 motion picture almanac lists the Ephrata Roxy as part of the Roxy Theater Circuit. Other theaters in the circuit at that time were the Roosevelt in Downington, the Main in Ephrata, the Campus and Roxy in Lewisburg, the Martin and Roxy in Lock Haven and the Roxy in Meyersdale. These were all in PA. Roxy officers were the Stiefel brothers, Oscar, Harry, Barney and Morris.

Thanks for the information. Status should be changed to closed/renovating.

And another one bites the dust. Although judging by the photo posted on 10/15/06, I’m not sure if rehab was feasible.

Probably just the one. Status should be open/live performances, I believe. Thanks for the information.

kencmcintyre commented about Corbin Theatre on Sep 20, 2007 at 10:41 pm

There is a February 1968 ad in the Van Nuys News for a double feature – “Jungle Book” and “Charlie the Lonesome Cougar”. If you’re talking about nostalgia, it doesn’t get any better than that for me. Apart from a few films at the drive-in where I was stuffed in the back of the Rambler, these were the first two films I saw in a theater. My mother took to me to the same double feature in Atlantic City, possibly in late 1967. I’d better log off before I start weeping on my keyboard.

kencmcintyre commented about Roane Theatre on Sep 20, 2007 at 9:58 pm

The Roane was listed as being in Rockwood in the 1970 motion picture almanac. It was part of Rockwood Amusements. Nothing was listed in Harriman at that time. This is from the 1970 IMPA.

kencmcintyre commented about Park Theatre on Sep 20, 2007 at 9:56 pm

It was part of Rockwood Amusements in 1970.

kencmcintyre commented about Court Theatre on Sep 20, 2007 at 9:55 pm

The film in LM’s post was released in 2005, so it was open at least until then.

kencmcintyre commented about Carroll Theatre on Sep 20, 2007 at 9:52 pm

Not the drive-in. It’s listed as a stand alone theater in the 1970 motion picture almanac. J.H Carothers was president of Rockwood Amusements at that time.

kencmcintyre commented about Ritz Theatre on Sep 20, 2007 at 9:51 pm

The Ritz was listed in the 1970 motion picture almanac, but it may have closed before press time. The operator at that time was the Rockwood Amusement Company out of Nashville.
