There was once not just one but two Fox Theatres in the city of Inglewood. However, the deco Fox Cinema II was demolished recently and the main Fox (pictured on the left) looks to be very threatened. Fox Theatre 2 (Demolished) Hopefully, this theatre will be graced with an audience once again. Doesn't appear likely though. Here's the Fox Pomona theater with its deco styled look. The Fox sign on top still proudly proclaims the theaters heritage to passersby. (Below) The Fox Theatre of Covina was once one of the central points of new blockbuster hits in the San Gabriel Valley. But alas, the standing room only crowds dwindled and by the late 80's, the Fox Covina became better known as a good place to throw popcorn at empty seats. This theater began showing Indian movies in the early 90's, but its recent status is closed and fate unknown. Update 2004 : The Fox Theatre in Covina as well as much of the block has been demolished.
This old Fox Theatre has now been converted into an indoor swap meet. At the last the large vertical facade still remains, though its heyday as a golden movie theatre seems to be long gone. (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.
The Mayfair Theatre is a 1940's era theatre complete with streamline deco elements. Or was. Designed by renowned architect S. Charles Lee, the Mayfair was taken down in August 2004. While everyone knew it was a treasure, the results of a fire rendered the building unusable. 01-06 (Below)The building for the Landmark Events Center features a deco look. 04-06
