History of the Fox Theatre
On September 20, 1929, the "Fox Theater" opened on the north side of Court Street, between 'D' Street and Arrowhead Avenue. Opening night films were: "Big Time"--an all talking, singing, dancing comedy-drama, a new Laurel and Hardy offering called "Men o' War", and the Walt Disney cartoon "Skeleton Dance," described as "a silly symphony in sound."
The somewhat flowery souvenir program for the Fox Theater had this to say:
"Into the life of San Bernardino and the Orange Empire comes the Fox Theater, art institute of amusement, as an addition to the artistic pleasure-loving life of this great Empire. You enter the wide doors of this great Castle of Splendor, and behold: The silent magic of life's mirror, the screen, in creations of its finest magicians...a myriad of multicolored lights...architectural beauties...velvety wonder carpet in foyer and lounge, orchestra, loge, and balcony ... the vast magnificence of the palace of a King. Not King, nor Emperor, nor Croesus could command more!"

For many old-timers who attended the three "palaces" in years past, the Fox stood out as the most brilliant. It was the largest, had the best "sound", and was prettier inside than the others.
The two huge lounges and foyer were covered with thick- rich colored rugs, restrooms that were as large as small houses, and everywhere was the appearance of great wealth.
