I'm sure that if you've lived in Spokane for most any length of time, you've been to an event in our fabulous Fox (now Martin Woldson) Theater. Last December I enjoyed The Nutcracker and while waiting for the performance to begin, swiveled my eyes up-down-sideways. And I spotted the turtles!! Do you see them? There are two on each side of the stage...........
The Fox Theater in Spokane, Washington is a 1931 Art Deco movie theater that now serves as a performing arts venue and home of the Spokane Symphony. It was designed by architect Robert C. Reamer, notable for his design of the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park. It was part of the Fox Film Corporation Empire founded by studio mogul William Fox. The theater opened September 3, 1931 and showed films continuously until it closed September 21, 2000 after an engagement of the movie Gladiator starring Russell Crowe.
