Opened in the 1920’s as the Roxy Theater. Renamed the Shillington Theater circa 1934. In 1949 a new Shillington Theater located at 29 East Lancaster Avenue was built replacing this theater (it has its own page on Cinema Treasures).

The November 1, 1934 issue of The Philadelphia Exhibitor noted that Joseph Shverha had taken control of the Roxy Theatre at Shillington and renamed it the Shillington Theatre. An RCA Victor High Fidelity sound system was to be installed. It was Shverha who would build the new Shillington Theatre on Lancaster Avenue in 1949, a project long planned, but delayed by wartime restrictions on new construction and post-war materials shortages.
