The Roxy Theatre in Leeton, NSW, photographed at night, date unknown.
The Roxy is Leeton's only cinema and opened on 7 April 1930. In 1933, a stage was added for live performances and the theatre was officially opened by singer Gladys Moncrieff.
The theatre still operates as a cinema, screening films on weekends and during school holidays.
The Roxy screen is one of the largest roll-up mechanised screens in Australia, measuring approximately 16 metres wide by 8 metres high.
