- Description:
- View of the Fox Theater in Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, designed by architect C. Howard Crane. "The crowning achievement of Crane's career in Detroit was the Fox Theater on Woodward Avenue, seating over five thousand people, it outdistanced all other movie palaces in the city in the magnitude of its proportions, the vast auditorium, unobstructed by columns, was a marvel of engineering, but the aspect that elicited the most unbridled panegyrics from the press at the time of the opening in 1928 was the fantastic magnificence of the decor," from "The Buildings of Detroit: a History" by W. Hawkins Ferry. The Fox Theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 and designated a National Historical Landmark in 1989.

- Description:
- The ornate facade of the Eastown Theater at Van Dyke and Harper in Detroit is further embellished by a vertical sign and a marquee, which advertises the theater's grand opening and a movie, " Sporting Blood", starring Clark Gable. A group of onlookers watches as a man stands at the top of a ladder that reaches to the top of the marquee. A string of pennants extends along the street in front of the marquee and down the front of the facade. Although it could accommodate stage shows, it was primarily a movie theater. It was designed by VJ Waier & Company.

- Description:
- Exterior view of the Riviera Theater on Grand River Avenue in Detroit, Michigan.

A four-story vertical marquee spelled out the theater's name boldly over Grand River Avenue," from Cinema Treasures web site. The theater which could seat 2800 people opened in 1925 and was demolished in 1999.
