The Alex
Film Society screens vintage films at Glendale's 1925-vintage Egyptian-inspired
movie palace, the Alex Theatre.
This semester, we went to an AFS program built around the 1950s Science
Fiction classic, Forbidden
Planet.

Here's what the theater

Let's get back to this afternoon's field trip...
One of the fun things to do at the Alex is to just hang out and spend some time in the theater's glamorous forecourt. |
|
| There is an Old Hollywood
sort of drama to the forecourt that today's multiplexes can't quite match. |
|
| These MC101s are in front of the box office. |
|
| It was a warm afternoon. These MC101s
found a shady corner of the forecourt. |
