i lived at 3452 hamilton from 1939 to 56. have been in the theater countless times. changed the marquee, sold popcorn, etc. i believe the capacity was around 300, as it had no balcony. i had correspondence with a local pub owner several years ago. she said she had lots of roscoe st. pix, incl the Roscoe, but had to rummage the basement, nothing ever came of it.
maybe it’s time to bug her again.
if she’s still alive, and is willing to look for the treasure.
i’ll be happy to share.
