The Roxy exits Wichita’s downtown with Azteca Studio Films on April 15, 1956 and a double feature “Historia de un Corazón” with Rosario Granados and “Los hijos de María Morale” with Irma Durantes. The building was converted that year for other purposes and later razed.
That’s December 29th, 1940.
The Roxy theatre opened on December 29th with “Safari” and “The Man from Montréal”.

I know it’s a different address (further down the street) but does it have any relationship to the current Roxy’s Downtown and its pre-existing neon sign?
This block has been completely redeveloped. The theater has been razed.
The Roxy in Wichita was listed as a foreign language theater in the 1947 IMPA, but the exact language is not specified.
