Here’s what I found for what is indeed the Roxy Theatre:

Roxy Cooksville (Mississauga) Opened about 1949 and closed 1971 Odeon owned the Roxy, which had 450 seats.

Mississauga Movie Theatres (old Mike Rivest page)

Another article about the Roxy, which indicates that the theatre had a quonset hut design similar to the Roxy Theatre in Woodbridge (a picture of which is included in the article) and was demolished shortly after its 1971 closure:

And this forum thread mentions that the Roxy was located on the Northwest corner of King and Hurontario Streets:

I’m thinking that the name listed above the newspaper clipping for this theatre may be a mistake. It’s most likely that Roxy was the name of the theatre and Cooksville is the area of Mississauga it was located in, but I’ll have to do some checking to find out more.
