Biograph First Party: Feb. 11, 1972


On the afternoon of Sunday, February 11, I hope some of the Biograph Theatre's friends/fans (which means mostly geezers
on Facebook and a handful of people who will hear about this from friends) will join me in remembering that old Fan District cinema's anniversary. It will provide a little intermission to momentarily escape the Super Bowl pregame show's parade of big budget commercials.

Background: On Feb. 11, 1972, the party to open The Biograph happened like all get-out at 814 West Grace Street in Richmond. Thus, this is a notice for a brief celebration of what was an evening (and early-morning) definitely worth remembering. Fifteen years of cinematic treats followed.

Accordingly, at 4:20 p.m. (EST), to enhance our collective remembering moment, let's all lift a properly filled glass and/or fire up a good times facilitator and have ourselves an imaginary celebration.

Volunteers only.
