ABOUT THE AREA
The Roxy theater in town was originally known as the Palace theater and as one of its first presentations showed "Gone With the Wind" The history of movie shows in Newton goes back to the early 1900's with the showing of silent movies at the Newton Opera house. The Palace theater was constructed in the late 1920's, about the time of the Great Depression when people needed entertainment for relief from their financial woes. The Roxy theater closed its doors at the end of the 1970's; but after its donation to the town by its owner, opened again with the presentation of stage productions such as "The Sound of Music"
