The original Rapp & Rapp auditorium was one of the most magnificent in the atmospheric style by any architectural firm. I would guess that it must have been hacked-to-death for the installation of Cinerama and reduction of seating capacity. I hope that I’m wrong.

The larger auditorium “doubled” for that of the Roxy, a cinema supposedly in Oxford, in the episode entitled “Cartouche” of the ongoing British TV series “Endeavour” (the young Inspector Morse). Standing in for the Roxy’s exterior was the former Carlton in London’s Islington, now a church.

Top prices of $5 for orchestra/balcony and $6 for loge would be equivalent to about $36 and $44 in 2018.

It should be noted that the stripper is not the busty TV personality known as “Dagmar,” but someone capitalizing on her fame and notoriety.
