OK, before anyone says "good lord he's doin' another freakin' theatre thread AGAIN! ..... I just want to say that as far as the Detroit Fox theatre goes... the DYES archives should be your first reference point.

I'm starting this thread about things beyond the fact that "the 5,174 seat Siamese-Byzantine theatre is the largest and most opulent surviving 1920s movie palace" schtick... and talks about some other interesting things about the theatre/building space.

But first here's a few photos to get the newbies up to speed....

Gotta run, but next time I'll talk about one of the "secret" treasure inside the Fox... namely "THE WALL".... for those who have performed at the Fox, or have taken a Preservation Wayne tour of the Fox... you will already know what I mean.... a wall of performers autographs that goes back to Elvis and beyond.... stay tuned.

If any of you have photos of THE WALL... feel free to post them... I've been a slacker in that department...
