Biographical history

Alfred William Shackleford born in Essex, England in 1899 and came to Calgary with his parents in 1909. He was trained as a draftsman after high school graduation but was employed by the Film Exchange and Fox Films. In 1921, he was hired to manage the King's Theatre in Lethbridge and became associated with Mark Rogers, a Lethbridge businessman who owned three Lethbridge movie theatres. By 1925, he was part-owner of a theatre, and, by 1933, he controlled the three main theatres in Lethbridge. He served as mayor of Lethbridge from 1944- 1947, 1952-1955, 1957-1961. He was also active in a number of community organizations, including the Rotary Club, Gyro Club, the Board of Trade, and the Cancer Society.
