A couple curent interior photos of this theatre can be seen at flickr.com.
Just type in Roxie Theatre, Los Angeles.
Go to page 3 and scroll down and click on the second picture for a shot on the main auditorium with a partial view of the left side of the proscenium and screen.
Click on the first small picture on the right to see a nice side wall view of the Roxie auditorium.
