While many of you attend Show West every year, I used to attend the Professional Photographers of America convention annually and most of the time it was in the mid west or the east coast. Only my way home, I used to always stop in San Francisco to see movies in many of the cities fine theatres, The theatres I have been to based on my memory include the Alexandria, Coronet, Warfield, Warner, Regency 1&2., Northpoint, Royal, Alhambra, Presidio, Kabuki, and a newer multiplex right next to where the Regency Theatres were,
The only fine theatre I have not been to was the Fox because it was long gone before my first trip to the city, I have heard it was a fantastic house very much like the other grand old movie palaces that are now gone with the exception of a few like our Hawaii Theatre here in Honolulu that is now serving as a performance arts centre. How large was the Fox? Was it used for world premieres a lot and was it a road show house with 70mm? I heard it was on Market Street like the Warner and the Warfield. What proximity was it to those two thestres? What was the reasoning for it shutting down?
