 Contest entry blank promoting the movie "10" in early 1980. People could nominate their own idea of a "Perfect 10" for a chance to win prizes.

 

 The Roxy's business license from 1931-1932, signed by Guy Gray and Mignon Tadsen (both now deceased).

Cost of the license was $25. Today's license costs $50, so inflation hasn't really been all that bad.

Theatres used to be regulated by the State Board of Equalization. We're not sure when this requirement ended. This license is from 1944.

 

 In 1990, to celebrate the Roxy's 60th anniversary, we brought back five classic films: Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz, The Ten Commandments, The Sound of Music, and Gone With The Wind. Free tickets were given away on the radio. These are the tickets used for those giveaways.

 

Book of 10-cent coupons, date unknown. Probably very early in the theatre's history.



 

 Ticket stub from the "Zorro Goes To Paris" show, presented live on stage in the Roxy in 1981.

Personalized buttons were worn by the staff during our 60th Anniversary celebration. The buttons were designed by Mike Blakesley and manufactured by our local newspaper.


 

40 cent ticket from an unknown date. Since this ticket contains no designation of "child," "adult" etc., it's pretty much impossible to determine when this ticket was printed, although it was probably before the 1960s. The Roxy stopped using this type of ticket in 1991.
