The Roxy Theatre is listed in the 1950 edition of Film Daily Yearbook. No seating capacity is given which usually means that the theatre is new and just opened. It is not listed in 1941 or 1943 editions that I have.

The Camden web link that someone posted states that this theater was previously known as the Garden.

In the Film Daily Yearbook, 1941 the Garden Theatre is not listed in the main listing, but it is listed under the Circuit listings as being under the control of Warner Bros. Circuit Management Corp. (Closed). Still shown as the Garden Theatre (closed, controlled by Warner Bros.) in the 1943 edition of F.D.Y.B.

The F.D.Y. 1950 also has the Roxy Theatre listed in the Negro theatre’s section, catering for black audiences.
