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!

Saw the original Star Wars there in 1978 (I think it was second run, buck flicks, or something like that)
