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 But like just about everything else from the mid-century, Fox theaters have superceded by modern tastes and whims.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.
The Fox Riverside theatre is still intact although it was closed at the time this photos was taken. This theatre first opened in 1927 and proudly displays the Mission Revival look that's also quite prevalent around the area. From time to time films are still shown here.
(Below) Located in Trinidad, CO, the Fox Theatre is still in fantastic condition. This theatre was originally named West's Opera House or West Theatre back when it opened towards the turn of the century.
Check out this neon shot of the Fox Theatre in Tucson, AZ. This theatre, which opened in 1929, was purchased by the Fox Tucson Theatre Foundation in 2000 and currently undergoing restoration.
The Fox California name was quite popular among theaters. Check out the Fox California Theatre, this one located in downtown Salinas, CA. Originally opening in the early 1920's, the Fox theatre has been closed for quite some time. Not sure what the fate is of this old treasure.
