The Roxy exits Wichita’s downtown with Azteca Studio Films on April 15, 1956 and a double feature “Historia de un Corazón” with Rosario Granados and “Los hijos de María Morale” with Irma Durantes. The building was converted that year for other purposes and later razed.

I know it’s a different address (further down the street) but does it have any relationship to the current Roxy’s Downtown and its pre-existing neon sign?

This block has been completely redeveloped. The theater has been razed.

The Roxy in Wichita was listed as a foreign language theater in the 1947 IMPA, but the exact language is not specified.
