This theater opened in 1917 as the May. It was located in the Avondale neighborhood, on Elston Avenue, near the intersection of Elston, California, and Belmont Avenues. In 1923, the theater was renamed the Elston, and in 1935, was again renamed, as the Fox. It closed in 1949 and today the building is used as a warehouse.
