Deja Views: A look back at the Fox Theatre in 1977

The photo above shows the Fox Theatre on Queen Street East in the Beach in 1977.

The Fox Theatre is the oldest continuously operating cinema in Toronto.

The movie house was established in 1914, right around the time when Keith Richards first picked up a guitar.

I don’t know any Beach resident who hasn’t watched a movie there.

The archival photograph above was taken in 1977. One of the movies displayed on the marquee is W.C. Fields and Me, a comedy made in 1976 starring Rod Steiger.

Do you have an old photo of the Fox you’d like to share with our readership?
