Appreciate the additional information guys on Jeans Funny House. I moved away and was never able to find when it closed down. Been trying to get a photo of it. Yeah, he also had a few arcade items. I still have to check local newspapers for photos, etc.of his place. A bit off the track from movie theaters, but thanks to all ~ They also ripped down the building that Snyder’s Magic Shop was in !
In reference to the following:
Jeans Funny House was next door to the Roxy –

I was in Jeans many times with my dad. Jeans was a gag/joke shop with magic. I still have a few items purchased there in the 1950s.
The shop was located across the street from the Roxy. Not next door.
Minor detail, but historically accurate.
