Stanford Theatre

The Stanford Theatre is a classical independent movie theater in Palo Alto, California. The theater features neo-classical Greek/Assyrian style architecture and generally screens films made between the 1920s and 1960s. Often an entire month is devoted to film festivals for various genres, directors, and actors, such as Alfred Hitchcock, Bette Davis, and Cary Grant.

History

It was originally founded in 1925 and in 1987 it was purchased and restored by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. It is currently operated by the Stanford Theatre Foundation, led by David Woodley Packard, the son of Hewlett-Packard co-founder David Packard.
