Spokane's Fox Theater has been "The Place to Go" since it opened in 1931. Lines formed around the block to view the latest feature and famous performers graced its stage. Even during its decline, the theater has retained its vestiges of elegance in its faded murals and dusty chandeliers. Threatened by demolition, the Fox survived the wrecking ball thanks to the efforts of the Spokane community.
This production was the culmination of over 2 years work, documenting the theatre from its decline to re-birth. Originally shot on an HDV camera, this was KSPS-TV's first foray into the world of High Definition.

  • Excellent and well put together presentation! They did a great job of restoring this theatre. Amazing how much work was put in to restore this gem and the dedication of the people. Just goes to show if people in a community care enough about saving their theatres, it can be done.

  • This film is about an ORNATE COLLECTION OF BRICKS & MORTAR where HumanBeings went to view the art of cinematography !

    Presented here on medium that is renowned for having no boundaries , where technology long ago surpassed the oily composition of celluloid film.

    Its a proper "time piece" with some very qualified commentary and experts.

    What do you know about FOX television? , what do you know about William Fox ?
