This must be the ‘New’ Roxy, then, although obviously there’s only room for Roxy on the vertical.
Ramsey had both a Roxy Theatre and a New Roxy Theatre, the latter built after the war. Here’s an announcement from the October 23, 1946 Film Daily: “Proffers' New Roxy Open
“Ramsey, Ill.—The New Roxy Theatre, seating 300, has been opened by Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Proffer.”
The April 20, 1946 Showmen’s Trade Review had said that Woodrow Proffer of the Roxy Theatre, Ramsey would build a new house as soon as material became available, and that it would be called the new Roxy.
The Independent Film Journal of February 5, 1955 reported that a wide screen and new projection and sound equipment had been installed in Woody Proffer’s 280-seat Roxy Theatre at Ramsey.
Thanks to Ken Roe for helping with the ID and dates on this one.
