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 mid-century
musical, Annie Get Your Gun.

Let's get back to this evening'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 glamour to the forecourt that today's multiplexes can't quite match. |

| These MC101s hung around
the box office as our group gathered. |
|
| Once inside, some of us waited in the
lounge above the main lobby. |
