Artist's Description
Art Deco was a decorative design movement popular from the mid 1920's to about 1940. Since the Fox Tucson theater was designed in the late 1920's, Art Deco influenced this lighting fixture; which may be a refurbished original or a skillfully made reproduction. I strongly suspect it is an original.
John Wayne spent many an hour in this theater's (then closed) balcony watching newly released films, while taking a break from making movies at Old Tucson.

The refurbished picture palace now seats nearly 1,200.
