This started life as the Mission Theatre in either late-October or early-November 1911 by Mr. James Wickeser, and was renamed the Roxy Theatre on November 15, 1931.
Location: 114-116 East Grand Avenue. Griffith Amusements had plans to create a movie palace on the site of the Roxy in 1946 but post-War shortages appear to have changed that concept. The Roxy became the Center Theatre on September 25, 1950. Video Independent Theatres closed its Kay Theatre and converted the Center to the Capri Theatre on November 5, 1959 with “Pillow Talk” as the grand opening feature. The theatre closed as the Capri and was demolished in favor of a modern banking facility.
