San Francisco's Fox Theater, and its demolition in the 1963. Flashing marquee says “Farewell to The Fox”. Footage from closing night, ushers rolling out the red carpet, crowds wait behind barricades as light shines into night sky. Steadicam shot of theater interior. Stills of its ornate interior. Woman onstage, majorettes in a dance line. Projectionist loads final reel of film. Wrecking ball starts demolition process. Crowds gaze at its destruction. Final wall collapses at night time.
