Alex Film Society members were set up at the center aisle entry of the mezzanine. They were publicizing their Oct. 27 Alex screenings of the 1954 horror flick, “The Creature From the Black Lagoon,” — in its original 3-D version. The audience will be provided with free 3-D glasses, courtesy of the Alex Film Society, of course.
Offering a little history of the Alex Theatre were Alex Executive Director Barry McComb, director of marketing and resource development Elissa Glickman and projectionist George Crittenden. He has been the Alex’s top projectionist for 60 years.
Glendale residents at the receiving end of this bounty of theater experience included Glendale City Councilman Dave Weaver, society doyennes Shirley Darling and Margaret Hammond, President of the Alex Film Society Randy Carter and wife Janice Carter, chairman of the Alex Regional Theatre board Ted Osborn and wife Wendy Osborn, and former chair of the Alex Regional Theatre board, now producing director at Burbank’s Falcon Theatre, Arnold Margolin.
Also front and center were former Supt./President of Glendale Community College John Davitt and wife Gael Davitt, Glady and Jack Kabateck, Patricia Messina, Sally MacAllen, and Glendale FastFrame owner Vickie McConnell, who gave out goody bags.
The light dinner served was courtesy of Damon’s Steakhouse, dessert was provided by Porto’s Bakery, and sodas and water were supplied by History for Hire’s Pam Elyea.
The Brand Library and Art Center set the stage Saturday for the exclusive engagement of “Flowers Aren’t Enough,” a one-woman play with the theme of domestic violence.
