  • <p>I found this advertisement in a book called “Mill Town Footlights The Theaters of Everett Washington” by David Dilgard. It was on page 99</p> <p>The films shown here are Quo Vadis from 1951 and a film called Black Fury.</p>
  • <p>This advertisement for the Sky-Vu Drive In Theater comes from the July 1950 issue of the Everett Herald Newspaper.</p> <p>This was shared with me from the Jack O'Donnell historical collection</p> <p>Most prominently featured in this ad is Bing Crosby’s “Riding High” alongside Adventure Island with Rory Calhoun and Paul Kelly.</p> <p>Two other films on here include Albuquerque (likely the 1948 film) and Master Minds</p>
  • <p>Officially opened on Friday 15th November 1940, Townsville’s North Ward Sports Ground Drive-In Theatre was run by Roxy Theatres (Townsville) Pty Ltd, who operated the Roxy ‘hardtop’ nearby. Screenings were held on Saturday nights and continued for nearly two years. Theater manager Joseph Stanley Pollard had approached the Sports Reserve Management Committee with the Drive-In idea on October 28. They had approved the project pending a successful trial and satisfaction of legal requirements.</p>

Later that year it became the Paramount, which it remained until rebranded Roxy in 1934. The Roxy name, inspired by the famous NYC 1927 picture palace, was retained until closure and demolition circa 1968.</p>
