former Roxy Theatre, Everard Park

former Roxy Theatre, AdelaideThe former Roxy Theatre in Adelaide is a stunning building. Although it is now a Blockbuster video store, you can imagine the glamorous people who attended 'Piccadilly Jim' on openning night, Wednesday, 7 October 1937.

And how many of those same people attended on closing night, a mere 24 years later on Saturday 25 November 1961.

Disaster struck in 1985 when the theatre was gutted by fire but two year later the facade was restored. I think they did a good job.
