Fox Film Corporation -- 20 Years of Progress (Part Two) -- June 30, 2023

Motion Picture News, 30-June-1923

100 years ago this month, the Fox Film Corporation celebrated "20 Years of Progress." 
Fox paid for a gaudy color section to promote its wares. 

William Fox purchased his first nickelodeon in 1904. He went on to develop a nationwide chain of movie theaters and to found one of the major production companies on the film industry. He overexpanded and lost everything in the Great Depression.
