The marble from the Fox theater is part of Holy Cross Catholic Church in Springfield PA

The theatre closed on March 9, 1980 with the film, “The Last Married Couple in America.” The contents of it, the Milgram and Fox were all auctioned off on April 1, 1980. The three venues were demolished thereafter.

Hey Jillian
This is great news. I contributed this story above. I unfortunately never was in any of the Milgram Theaters in Center City but remember them well. I was in the Yeadon many times and I think they may have owned the Tower on 69thst before it was sold to Ellis Theaters.

Thanks MSC77 for this before we had the theater added.

Fifty years ago today THE EXORCIST opened here. The Stage Door was among only two-dozen cinemas in twenty-one North American markets to play the film at release launch. (I do not see a separate database entry for the Stage Door, a conversion of the Fox’s stagehouse area. Earlier today I erroneously posted this comment on a page for another theater named Stage Door.)
