Located on Elm Street at N. Akard Street. The Fox Theater was a burlesque stage show theater. It was also listed in Film Daily Yearbook editions from at least 1941, thru to 1950 and beyond…..

There is an enormous office building at 1401 Elm that takes up the odd side of the block. No sign of any theater building.
Say’s who? Google photos.
The Fox theater was demolished during the late fifties, in fact all
theaters on Dallas Elm Street Movie Row are gone except the Majestic.
An old burlesque theater ad from 1949 for the Fox Theater in Dallas.
Status should be changed to closed/demolished.
Fron the book “The Old Movie Theatres of Texas” it states that the Fox Theatre goes back at least to the mid-1920’s.
Sorry to disagree, panhandle, but this place was still running “burlesk” as late as the very early 60’s. It and the whole block went down to make way for the First Nat'l. Bank Building (52 stories, tallest west of the Mississippi at that time), which is now called Elm Place, is being foreclosed on, and has an occupancy rate of about 30%.
In transitioning to the new format, many comments have been deleted/lost.
At any rate, here’s a link to a shot on my flickr page that has a view of the old Fox in the extreme lower left, red neon sign turned on. Check the vintage of some of the cars on Elm.
