On November 6, 1925, William Fox bought the rights to the Movietone sound system, which became Fox Movietone on the 99 acres of land he bought from the Janss Company located between Santa Monica and Pico Boulevards on January 6, 1924. This circa 1930s photo shows us one of the entrances. Note the beautiful light fixtures that border the ornate “MOVIETONE” crest above the door. Whenever I see things like that I can’t help but wonder what happened to it.
