This theater was built by a family named Dock. Their son, Robert, suggested the name Dox as a interesting way to spell "Dock''s." I was a close friend of their now-deceased daughter, Dorothy, but that little tidbit is all I know of the theater''s history. I''ll see if I can get in touch with Robert (who must be pushing 90 if he''s still alive) and find out more.

Built in what was one of the worst years of the Great Depression, this small neighborhood house was able to stay open in one form or another until 1969.
