I found this photo in my father’s album from his time in Egypt in 1941/42 with the Australian Army. It’s simply captioned ‘Roxy Theatre’, though I’m not sure if it’s in Cairo or elsewhere. Searching online hasn’t turned up anything quite like it.

It’s a beautiful one. I just love the effect it creates. It perfectly fits the theme: near and far.
Thanks! I’ve loved this photo for a long time and was pleased today to find a theme that suited it.
Wow! Google Roxy Theatre and you get a tour of the United States. I didn’t find mention of Cairo with my quick search, but whatever. Your shot of The Roxy is perfect for the theme.
Thanks. I suspect it was in the Heliopolis area of Cairo where there is now a Roxy Square, built on the site of an old Luna Park from the early 20th century.
FOXY IS A SQUARE IN HELIOPOLIS AND THE CINEMA EXISTED THERE .. A GREAT PHOTO
Well, ..it’s current location now was called Adham children’s park
Thanks. I believe it’s called Roxy Square.
