The first time my parents allowed me to go to the movies alone was @ The Granada to see “The Ten Commandments”. The stories about the size of the screen are not exaggerated…when Moses parted the sea, he p-a-r-t-e-d the sea.
Also, in reference to the ‘big’ pictures that opened there my memories of the première of “Around The World In 80 Days” are most vivid – the klieg lights, the limos…pretty heady stuff for Buffalo, let me tell you!
The same weekend of the opening as my family was on their way to Sears – a straight shot down Main Street from The Granada, as we were stopped at a traffic light this huge black car pulled alongside ours (first limo I ever saw ‘live’) and as I turned my head to look at it, I was met by the lavender gaze of Elizabeth Taylor. She was accompanying Mike Todd to the première.
Needless to say, this page has caused some pretty special memories to flow.
