A chronology of Anchorage’s 70mm presentations history has recently been published. The Polar gets some mentions in the piece.
I don’t remember the porn part. Maybe that came later They showed first run as far as i knew. I saw Star Wars first run there (summertime 1977). We stood in a huge que in the parking lot for ages!
From porn to a school pretty cool.
June 7 1990 the Polar Triple was showing “HENRY V” , “FIREBIRDS” and a double feature of “MIAMI BLUES” and “WILD ORCHID” Saturday and Sundays Matinees. It was an ACT III Theatre.
Saw the original Star Wars there in 1978 (I think it was second run, buck flicks, or something like that)
This opened on July 22nd, 1971 as a twin and a third cinema in 1982. It closed in 1994
