Isis Theater
Salt Lake City, Utah
Open in 1908, the Isis Theatre was one of the first motion picture theaters in Salt Lake City. Its manager in 1910 was Max Florence, who a year later tried to blackmail the LDS Church by selling amateur photos of the Salt Lake Temple interior. Dan Kostopulos, a benefactor of underprivileged children, later renamed it the Broadway Theatre. In a 1976 press conference, Palace Theatre operator Lee Harper complained bitterly of persecution, made acusations of police brutality, threatened the life of a local judge, and accused the LDS Church of being involved with the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luthar King.

F. J. Thomas was in Salt Lake City Monday buying roller skates for his new rink. The rink was thrown open to skaters this afternoon and tonight.

An unusually large crowd was out to the Thanksgiving dance at the new hall of F. J. Thomas. Hereafter the dances given by the management are to be fifty cents a couple. The floor here is about the best ever.
