- 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.
