Over the years, Fox Theatres have been well known for their spacious lobbies, fantastic architecture, and large screens. But like just about everything else from the mid-century, Fox theaters have superceded by modern tastes and whims. In this case, the multi-plex has taken over the theater landscape, and many of the old Fox theaters are now either churches, lightly-attended entertainment houses, or demolished altogether.

(Below) The Fox Theatre in downtown Fullerton still features its rooftop sign as well as the familiar Fox script lettering on the front facade. This theatre was threatened with demolition in 2004, however after great effort, the Fullerton Historic Theatre Foundation now owns the Fox Fullerton Theatre. This was a great victory for the community that rallied behind the preservation of this landmark that was built in the 1920's.
