Color All Around

Four years ago we attended a performance in the Fox Theatre in Detroit. It was built in the 1920s and is the largest remaining of the old movie palaces of that time period. The architect was C. Howard Crane. The theatre renovation was completed in 1988. It now is the venue for all sorts of performances. The environment overwhelms the senses with colors, textures, and images typical of the style.

Here are a few of the photos from that day.

The performance auditorium:






Ornate details cover the walls:




And figures fill niches around the auditorium:



The organ is a work of art!






Even the smaller details are fun to see.



...and the lights!!!
