Fox Theatre, Performing arts venue in downtown Detroit, United States.
The Fox Theatre features a six-story lobby, red marble columns, hand-painted murals, and an auditorium that accommodates more than 5,000 spectators.
William Fox commissioned architect Charles Howard Crane to design this movie palace in 1928, making it the largest surviving theatre from that decade.
The theatre combines architectural elements from Egyptian, Far Eastern, and Indian traditions, with detailed ornaments throughout its interior spaces.
The box office opens at 11:00 AM on event days, and visitors must pass through security screening before entering the performance space.
The theatre introduced the Movietone sound system, becoming the first venue worldwide to incorporate built-in equipment for talking movies.
