The original Fox theater was just south of the Boulder theater on 14th Street. It was operated by the same chain that ran the Boulder, and usually showed the second string features or sometimes would continue first run features after they had opened at the Boulder. The Fox was demolished in a fire in 1961, and only the marquee and sign remained; so the management moved both to the old Rialto Theater on University Hill, which they reopened as the “New” Fox. It now is a venue for live performances. The Boulder Art Cinema was on Pearl Street between 13th and 14th. I was in high school when the Fox burned down, and in college when the Art Cinema was open (although I think it was before 1970 – maybe in the late 60’s?)
