A Grand Movie Palace
The perfect place in Anchorage to see a movie -
Imagine the first time you went to see a movie at Anchorage's famed 4th Avenue Theater.
Just standing on the sidewalk, looking at the colorful posters showing you what was playing and what would be playing in the weeks and months to come was fun.
And as you approached the box office to get your movie tickets, you knew you were about to enter a very special place.
With tickets in hand, you enter the theater.
You suddenly smell the delicious aroma of fresh popped popcorn and your eye's begin to take in the incredible sight of the theater's beautiful Art Deco style. Some say that the style was also Streamline Moderne and Art Moderne. But whatever style you prefer, one thing is certain. Anchorage's 4th Avenue Theater was a very special place to see a movie.
Now, before we look at the rest of the 4th Avenue movie palace, lets walk through those plush curtains to see what's playing.
They're about to show previews of a fun John Wayne movie called "North to Alaska."
As you take your seat, you look up at the incredible Alaska murals that grace each side of the screen. And remember the North Star and the Big Dipper on the ceiling?
