Just wondering if anyone else out there has any memories they would like to share about having attended the Roxy Theatre in their lifetime? I’d love to read your comments!

THANKS…MY BEST WILLIAM HAMILTON

I forgot to add…though a small house…it consistently lead the boxoffice receipts in Variety as one of the “larger grossing houses” for it size week after week in the 1950’s…often playing a single feature from 6 to 13 weeks! And in 1959…it was completely renovated and advertised that it had a new…deeper wider screen! I can attest to that fact…since it gave the “illusion” of being a much larger theatre with this deeper screen and was somehow always “exciting” to see a movie there. They also used to advertise with this paraphrased slogan: “Pictures are just better at the Roxy…there’s a reason!” And it was true!

My best…William Hamilton

This was a small house with seats numbering approximately 630.
