Owned by Mike Blakesley since 1979, the Roxy Theatre was built in 1930 for $35,000 and has remained in continuous operation throughout its life, except during the drive in boom era when it would close during the summer.
The Roxy Theatre has retained its old-fashioned charm, with the lobby, marquee and facade remaining mostly unchanged from when it was new. The auditorium has been modernized with new seats and wallcoverings, and the booth contains modern equipment including digital sound.

What a great web site
This theater has quite possibly the best projection and sound system of any theater in the State of Montana!
The theater owner started a blog last September, but no responses as of yet:

Here is another photo of the Roxy. Is that what Spanish Colonial looks like?
Lost, I think that is what’s called the retro Taco Bell.
During the 1930’s a number of theatres in California were named (or renamed) with the alternate spelling of ROXIE (in San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles). I can only assume this was for legal reasons, or maybe named after the heroine of the 1926 play “Chicago”, Roxie Hart.
