Bob Hope Theatre was initially built in 1929 when Fox West Coast Theatres invested almost half a million dollars for the construction of a luxurious, comfortable and safe theatre that would come to be called the Fox or the Fox California. This theatre opened in October of the following year, marking the most grandiose and prestigious event of the area. With more than two thousand, one hundred and seventy seats, the Fox is really the largest vaudeville house of California and is also among the safest building of its time. Having been built almost completely of steel and cement, it has the ability to evacuate its visitors in the span of two minutes.

One of the many jewels of the theatre is its Wurlitzer pipe organ comprising of three manuals and two pipe lofts that cost forty thousand dollars at the time of its construction in 1930. The place was entirely renovated towards the late nineties and beginning 2000s, at which point its name was changed to Bob Hope. Guests can enjoy the richly decorative murals and wood carvings in the main chamber and lobby. The lobby’s original water feature was replaced with a fascinating marble mosaic with a water theme. It still retains a Robert Morton theater organ that was placed there in 1928 and was last played more than fifty years back in Seattle Fox Theatre. It was then restored to its present form and donated to Bob Hope by The Friends of Fox. Since the theatre’s collection of antique organs is a particular source of attraction for its visitors, it plays organ concerts before each classic movie showings that are presented once every month.
