Re: never went to the Crest......

July 21, 2019 12:58PM
I think every city had at least one theater named Crest, Fox, or Orpheum at some time in their history. My home town, Wichita, sure did and the Fabulous Fox theater here in St louis is a beautifully restored historical landmark where they have concerts, plays and musicals. It's the pride of St. Louis. Does anyone know why those 3 names in particular are used from town to town for theaters?
