Exterior view of the Alex Theatre (originally known as the Alexander Theatre) located on Brand Avenue in Glendale. The James Bond film "Her Majesty's Secret Service" and "The Super Fight" of Marciano versus Cassius Clay are advertised on the marquee. Designed by architects Charles R. Selkirk and Arthur G. Lindley with an emphasis on Greek and Egyptian motifs, it opened its doors as a Vaudeville and motion picture house in 1925. In 1940 by S. Charles Lee added the 100 foot tall Art Deco tower. Included in Lee's design were the three-sided marquee, outdoor ticketing kiosk, and the decorative terrazzo floor crested in bright tropical colors.
