I’ve looked at the exterior of the Fox Theater before, way back in June of 2010, but I’ve never looked at the interior. We’ll start with the lobby. Designed by Charles Howard Crane and opening on January 31, 1929, the photograph above was probably commissioned right before or after the premiere of the lavish movie palace.
Thanks for sharing these! I’m so glad this fabulous place was saved. I only wish the equally fabulous Uptown Theater in my city, Chicago, could meet such a kind fate.
I wonder how many readers won’t recognize the pair of now-disused telephone booths.
I was actually wondering if I needed to label those!
While I cannot remember the name of the movie that starred Vincent Price (of Price Road in Ladue), he came to promote one of his movies at the Fox. I recall the organist rising as if from the depths of Hell playing the scary music.
