Title:
Oakland's "Foxy Lady"
Description:
Historic footage of the Oakland Fox movie theater, built in 1928. It is scheduled to re-open in the Fall, 2008. Video by BART Director Bob Franklin, composer/pianist is Joyce Whitelaw, lyrics by Judith Offer, vocals by Jessica Deardorff (Mezzo-soprano) and Christa Pfeiffer (Soprano). Historic photos provided by Phil Tagami's office. lyrics: Oakland's Foxy Lady It was the palace of the people, From Ali Baba's land, Built to make a pasha out of every movie fan. You could get there on a Key Route Car, A nickel for a ride To a place that made you royal once you stepped inside. The ushers wore gold braiding In that gilded, massive hall A place that made a movie fan the lord of all he saw. Barrymore and Rogers Pickford, Fields and Chan Could take you on a "carpet screen" to a magic land Where your boss was all forgotten, And your uniform, and job, and of course you'd never been an ordinary working slob. And even while you waited In your comfy Eastern throne, Special entertainments, live, were shown--for you alone! Dancing ladies, bare of leg Selections from the Student Prince, A Wurlitzer, a banjo boy, magic tricks unheard of since. Restaurants and ice cream parlors Waited when the show was done, All to make sure the Royal Crowd had had its fun. Majarajah, majarani, On a magic carpet ride, At the Oakland Fox at night: all you did was go inside!

Hutch is full of fire on "The Theme of Foxy Brown," his distinctive tenor wringing the most from each note.
