Fox Theatre (San Francisco)
- Fox Theatre (San Francisco)
The Fox Theatre was a 4,651 seat movie palace located at 1350 Market Street in San Francisco, California. It was designed by architect Thomas W. Lamb.
The Fox Theatre opened on June 28, 1929 with the premiere of "Behind That Curtain", a Charlie Chan movie produced by William Fox. The theater was closed from October 20, 1932 to April 1, 1933 due to financial difficulties. On June 28, 1959, a 30th anniversary celebration took place with the screening of "Say One for Me" with Bing Crosby and Debbie Reynolds. On March 5, 1960, a series of organ concerts on Saturdays at midnight began, in an attempt to increase business and keep the theater open.
On February 16, 1963, the theater closed and was later demolished. Now located at this site is Fox Plaza at 1390 Market Street, a high-rise building with offices and apartments (no relation to the famous Fox Plaza in Los Angeles).
