Fox Theatre, Historic movie theater in The Beaches, Toronto, Canada
Fox Theatre is a movie theater in the Beaches neighborhood of Toronto, Canada, located at the corner of Queen Street and Beech Avenue. It has a traditional marquee and an ornate facade that stands out along the street.
The building opened in 1914 and got its first name through a local community contest. It went through several name changes over the following decades before becoming Fox Theatre in 1936.
The Fox Theatre screens a mix of new releases, independent films, and older classics throughout the year. It draws a crowd that looks for something beyond the standard multiplex experience.
The theater was renovated and now has reclining seats and better accessibility, making it comfortable for most visitors. The original character of the space was kept during the work, so the interior still feels like a classic cinema.
A stained glass panel above the lobby doorway still shows the name Prince Edward Theatre, one of the cinema's former identities. It is easy to walk past without noticing, but worth looking up at before entering.
