The Boro closed December 26, 1949 with “Mother is a Freshman” and “Thunder in the Pines.”
September 10th, 1940 grand opening ad in photo section.
I’ve been waiting over two years and I still don’t know what the Boro Theater looked like!
Now I know where to buy a stamp in Roxborough/Manayunk. What I don’t know is what the theater looked like when it was open!

The marquee is still being used, but as a sign, not for lettering. This theatre was right across the street from the Roxy Theatre (closed and demolished) at Ridge and Leverington Avenues.
According to the tax records, this building is now a store:
