The Roxy Theatre opened in 1938 with seating at that time listed at 600.
Here is a photo from the Mansfield Collection at the University of Montana. The date is given as 1949, which may or may not be correct. The first version of “The Ten Commandments” was released in 1923, while the second was released in 1956. The car in the photo looks more like mid fifties than late forties, so my hunch is that the photo is circa 1956:
