This was a beautiful theater when I saw it was ten years ago and there was some move to restore it. The University of California Riverside and the Museum of Photography were putting on art film and classic movie nights once a week. It has a HUGE interior with three banks of seats on the ground floor and huge balcony. An incredible ceiling. I wish someone could find a way to restore it. If it was restored, it would make the recent theaters built by Edwards and AMC (which I love) to shame. If anyone has any ideas on how to go by restoring it, I’d love to hear them and would actively try to put them to use.
Good News!!! Someone just bought the Fox theater and intends to restore it!!
