Episode 133
Glendale’s Alex Theatre originally opened in 1925 as The Alexander Theatre and was designed by architects Arthur G. Lindley and Charles R. Selkirk. The interior has distinct neo-classic Greek and Egyptian architectural elements, similar to the Greco-Egyptian period of Ptolemaic Egypt. A long walkway and courtyard separating the ticket booth from the lobby was inspired after the famous Grauman's Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood.
Located only a few miles from Walt Disney's Hyperion studio, the theater was Disney's favorite place to preview his cartoons to see how they would play to audiences. (14:20) & (38:50)
