- Description:
- Exterior view of the Grand Circus Theater on Broadway and Madison streets in Detroit, Michigan. Originally the Capitol Theater designed by C. Howard Crane it opened in 1922. The theater's most recent incarnation is the Detroit Opera House. "The Capitol Theater was resplendently decorated in the Italian Renaissance style with lavish crystal chandeliers, frescoes, brass fixtures, marble stairways and drinking fountains, rich rose-red Italian damask was used for the main-stage curtain and draperies throughout the house, most of these features are present today in the Detroit Opera House ... after several years of near decay the theater underwent a minor restoration in the 1960, the renamed and reconfigured 3,367-seat Grand Circus Theater became a movie house once again. The Grand Circus Theater closed its doors in 1978 and reopened under the same name in 1981," from the Detroit Opera Houses website.

- Description:
- Three people stand at concession stand inside the Fox Theater on Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. "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.
