The Orpheum Theatre was listed as opened in October 1911, operated by Harlan Eveleth. On March 6, 1912 it was taken over by Mr. A.A. Ulm. In 1913 he moved the theatre and again in 1922 to its final location. The theatre seated 265. It became known as the Rand Theatre in 1939. Mr. A.A. Ulm sold the Rand Theatre to Mr. Leonard J. Leise in October 1943 who operated the theatre until its closing. In December 1948 it was renamed New Roxy Theatre reopening with Lois Butler in “Mickey”.
It was gutted by fire on on May 3, 1959. The façade was saved and the sloped floor has been levelled and it currently serves as a warehouse for a construction company.

The Roxy and an adjacent store were gutted by a fire on May 3, 1959. Although the theatre and store were reconstructed the second floor of the building was not. Since the facade was intact the windows were just bricked up.
In 1962 admission for adults was $1.00 for adults and 35 cents for children. Per the advertisement for the Roxy in the photo section, the theatre was still operating in 1978.
At some point the floor was levelled and converted to retail.
I have uploaded a picture of the fire and post reconstruction photos. The theatre now houses a construction company.
