A spectacular opening for the New Fox Theatre was held on October 16, 1951 with Betty Grable in “Meet Me After The Show" supported by a live appearance by Rex Allen and a Goofy cartoon, “Get Rich Quick.”
Boxoffice, Feb. 11, 1974: “Paul Cory has taken over the operation of the Fox Theatre, Sidney, Neb. … (he) also operates the Fox, Center and Starlite Drive-In in Sterling.”
There are photos of the front and the auditorium of the Fox Theatre in Boxoffice, October 23, 1954. Fox Intermountain’s in-house architect of the time, Mel C. Glatz, designed the theater.
It would appear that their marquee is long over due for lighting and neon replacement.

Boxoffice of October 27, 1951, said that cowboy star Rex Allen had been the top personal attraction at the recent opening of the new Fox Theatre in Sidney.
