The Roxy Theater

During the golden age of Hollywood, glamour was the operative word. Near Times Square in NYC, the Roxy Theater was a gorgeous venue to see the latest movie. It was opened in 1927, and it held a remarkable 6,000 patrons. Theater was also presented on the stage. But besides the delight from the entertainment itself, people really enjoyed seeing the elite of the city put on their furs, heels, and pearls.

In case you're getting inspired to go out on the town here, the Roxy Theater is gone. By the 1960's, ticket sales had waned. The decision was made to demolish the building completely. The deed was done!
