It was renamed the Fox Theatre on August 13, 1941 after extensive remodeling, reopening with “Abbott And Costello In The Navy” along with Disney’s Donald Duck in “Truant Officer Donald”, the Pete Smith Specialty “Cuban Rhythm”, a Fox Movietone Newsreel, and a dedication speech by then-Mayor G. R. Mallett.

  • The celebration was so huge that a big amount of celebrities congratulated the management for its hard work and reopening at the time, including W.C. Fields, Cary Grant, Rita Hayworth, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, Bob Hope, Fred MacMurray, Deanna Durbin, Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, Betty Grable, Penny Singleton and Arthur Lake, Jane Withers, and Tyrone Power among others.
