Description: More than 2500 movie fans, one of the largest crowds in recent history of the event, jammed the Pantages Theater sidewalks to watch the parade of stars arriving for the Academy Awards presentation on April 7, 1959. After the ceremony began, some of them surged through ropes and chain barriers toward the theater entrance. Finally, police formed a "human chain" to turn back the tide.
