The Dufwin Theater, located Uptown at 17th and Telegraph, was built in 1928 and adorned with these tile mosaics created by the local Gladding, McBean Company. Two years later the theater was converted to a movie house and renamed the Roxie. Somewhere along the way the murals were covered up and forgotten. In 1983 the building was again renovated and turned into office spaces. During the renovation the tile murals were uncovered and restored. They appear to represent drama, dance, and music.
