Roxy Theatre (Saskatoon) (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

The Roxy Theatre is a movie theatre (cinema) in the Riversdale neighborhood of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, built during the onset of the Great Depression. The interior is decorated in a Spanish Villa style with the walls covered with small balconies, windows and towers, giving the impression of a quaint Spanish village. The ceiling was painted dark blue, with twinkling lights set in the plaster, to give the impression of a night sky. It was built for sound pictures ("talkies"), and was Saskatoon's first air-conditioned building. It is one of the last remaining atmospheric movie palaces in Canada.
