Here is a late 1960’s photo of the Fox Theatre marquee as it originally stood to advertise a single screen, 2000 seat theatre.

I was an usher at the Fox from 1967-1969. I was popular at Kelley as I had free access to “2001”! Stoned hippies used to come in during the last 30 minutes to lay down in front of the giant Cinerama screen and zone out! I miss the Fox and the wonderful people I met there. What ever happened to Mr. Nichols???
I worked with Blake Smith at the Fox 4 Cinemas for a time as projectionist. I really admire how they were able to take the twin theater and make it into 4 screens. The twins were simply cut right down the middle length wise and theaters with about 100 or so seats were created. It was a rather nice second-run house.
The theater itself was never actually demolished. The building itself still stands today, only as a gym.
Here is the “2001: A Space Odyssey” ad for the Fox Theater.
