“4th Avenue Theatre Memories”:
“It was 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 there on the sidewalk in front of the theatre, 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 special place.”

Were you there?

Mary of Anchorage Memories was there and tells the fun story of how she came Face-to-Face with John Lennon.
“Mary's description of how she literally came face-to-face with John Lennon is a fun read, and she does a good job of explaining what it was like in the summer of '66, when the Beatles came to Anchorage! I was there too.”

“How lucky I was to be standing here so close to the doors. Norman, Betty, and I will be the first people in the crowd to see John, George, Paul, and Ringo!”
I stretched out my hand to feel the soft, luxurious velvet ropes that they so generously placed before us. My stomach was filled with the feeling of more butterflies than I had ever felt in my life.
I looked around and noticed the happy faces of the crowd. It
wasn't dark at all. We would be able to see the Beatles clearly. But
wait a minute.
Suddenly, a light bulb went on in my head.”
