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 But like just about everything else from the mid-century, Fox theaters have superceded by modern tastes and whims.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.
The Fox Village in Westwood Village near the UCLA campus still shows first run movies to large crowds. A classic single-screener, the Village is sometimes visited by actors/actresses attending their opening premiere.
The Fox Theatre near Palm Springs is a classic small movie house. The neon still looks spectacular at night.
The Fox Theatre in Bakersfield exhibits the familiar architecture of its lineage, including clock tower and circular front facade. This theater is still in great shape externally from the looks of things.
This old Fox Theatre has now been converted into an indoor swap meet. At the last the large vertical facade still remains.
Here's a shot of the outside marquee of the Fox Oakland Theatre. The good news is the marquee was lit up for the first time in years recently. Hopefully we'll see this theatre up and running again someday like it did in its heyday.
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. Hopefully, this theatre will be graced with an audience once again. Doesn't appear likely though. Fox Theatre 2 (Demolished)
Here's the Fox Pomona theater with its deco styled look. The Fox sign on top still proudly proclaims the theaters heritage to passersby.
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.
