Pen and ink drawing
of the Roxy by Shari Nickisch Suek. Shari worked at the Roxy in
the mid-80s. She did this drawing in 1989 in her high school art class. She is
now married and living in Dutton, Montana.
Shari captured the Roxy
"warts and all," as you can see by looking at the broken-out portion of
the wall on the upper right. This was caused by a Forsyth Christmas
decoration that was attached to the theatre and pulled loose after a
heavy storm. (The area has been repaired since then.) The large
ROXY letters above the marquee disappeared when we restored the
projection booth windows in 1990.
Thanks, Shari for sending
us this great drawing!

Early
Roxy tickets. No date available, but they're personalized with
the theatre name so we're guessing these are from the 1940s or
earlier. |
 |
An early
complimentary ticket, from the 1940s or 1930s. The name on the
ticket is "Mr. & Mrs. Blakesley" and the signature
is that of Minnie Wolke, sister of the Roxy's original co-owner
Frank Faust. |
 |
This is the
oldest Roxy ticket we have, from early 1933. |
 |
A 1958
complimentary ticket. Take note that the ticket says "Any
Wednesday starting Nov. 12, 1958." This ticket was brought
in to us on a Wednesday night...in 2001! When we say our free
tickets don't expire, we mean it! |
