[edit] Fablous Fox?
Is "Fabulous Fox" its official name? Does "one of the more unique of the grand movie palaces" mean that some or even several are more or less uniquer? --Wetman 06:46, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Not completely sure; it's certainly a well-known name for it. The theatre refers to itself as the "Fabulous Fox" in press releases and on its website. The general public knows it that way as well. Using it in the title here serves to distinquish it from the remaining Fox Theatres in other cities. Removed the 'more unique' gaff. Autiger 15:59, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- The official name is the Fox Theatre, "The Fabulous Fox" is a nickname. Cynrin 18:47, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- The appellation "Fabulous Fox" has probably been used for all the big Fox palaces of that era. I recall the phrase often being used in reference to the San Francisco Fox, and it is certainly used today in marketing the St. Louis Fox, as can be seen at their website: [1] Whyaduck 14:24, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fox Theatre in Detroit
There is another legendary Fox Theatre in Detroit (in fact, it may be even better known than this one), so this article should be called Fox Theatre (Atlanta). Here's a link to Detroit's Fox:

- Rather than get into any battles over which Fox Theatre (including the many besides Atlanta and Detroit)is most notable to have the Fox Theatre article, this one probably should move to Fox Theatre (Atlanta) with a new main article about Fox's building spree in general and as disamb to all ones for which articles are written. In fact, I'll get that started. Autiger 23:40, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Mighty Mo: second or third largest?
This article lists Mighty Mo as the second largest theatre organ in its original location, which I seem to recall was stated in PBS documentary. But the entry for theatre organs lists it (unsourced) as #3. Anyobody know for sure from a citeable source?
