In the 1930s and 1940s, major studios would routinely use the Alex as a venue for “out-of-town” sneak previews to test audience reactions to movies such as for Elizabeth Taylor’s National Velvet, Bing Crosby’s Going My Way, and The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer, starring Cary Grant, Myrna Loy, and Shirley Temple. The overall theme of the 2009 parade is “Hats Off to Entertainment.” Sneak Preview not only recognizes the city’s premier historic entertainment venue, the Alex Theater, it also celebrates Glendale’s role in the entertainment industry. Sneak Preview will be approximately 35 feet long, 18 feet wide, and 22 feet high. It will depict movie stars and the public approaching the Alex’s marquee and light tower and the iconic ticket booth on the way to a sneak preview. The original main curtain of the Alex will be recreated in flowers at the rear of the float.  For more about the float, please see www.glendalerosefloat.org.  Important Information The parade takes place on New Year's Day 2009 in Pasadena, CA.
