And the Roxy website history page agrees with that information and includes alot more.
Under its original name of Lyric, this first opened on February 1, 1921, so construction probably started in 1920. The original owner, Harry Hartman, built it as a replacement for a smaller cinema that he owned across the street, according to the profile in Marquee Magazine.
Another photo can be seen here.
A photo and history of the Roxy Theatre can be found in the Fourth Quarter 2008 issue of Marquee, the journal of Theatre Historical Society of America. Owner Richard Wolfe, a longtime member of THS, will conduct a guided tour of the Roxy during the organization’s annual conclave in July, which this year covers theatres in Philadelphia and the surrounding region. More details are at www.historictheatres.org
This is a nice photo of the Roxy.

A 2 manual, 6 rank Wurlitzer organ was installed in the Roxy in the late 1980’s. This organ was originally from the Pastime (Osborne)Theater in the Bronx, according to the Roxy’s website.

Lost love the pics …it is hard work to track down all these pictures..
I have to ask Lost Memory if he knows me. I have been reading your posts and looking at your photo submissions here now at Cinema Treasures for several years. Are you a member of THS, as I am? If you are, and are someone I already know, I just don’t know you by the screen name that you use here. You certainly know theatres, and have an amazing ability to acquire photos of theatres everywhere. I envy you for that. Do you take most of these photos yourself?

This is a nice close-up view of the Roxy.
We travelled to check this place out last month. Two thumbs up for a gem of a small town movie house. We saw JUNO —– 2007’s best picture despite the stupid Oscar choice — and the price was $2.00. Give it a try if you’re in the Allentown area.
Didn’t notice the price so will settle for the free photo, too!
Thats a nice painting. Did you check the price?
Total with Shipping:$66.75
I’ll settle for the free photo above. :)
Since I couldn’t access the above George Rothacker site posted on Feb. 10, 2005 go to www.georgerothacker.com and click on theatre paintings to find the one of the Roxy and its art deco marquee.
Just picked up the book, Cinema Treasures after a long absence and found myself reading about this theatre in PA. Very nice and it seems to have been kept original which makes it all the more sweet.
The exteriors were shot in the film, “School Ties” in 1992.
A Marr & Colton theater organ was installed in the Lyric Theater in Northampton, PA in 1924.
This is the Roxy Theater at night.
