Trolley Corners
Theater Closed
The Trolley Corners Theatres closed after their final showings on 3 June 2004. The movie theater complex opened on 23 December 1977, featuring an 800 seat theater with stadium seating, 70mm, and large murals of "Star Wars" and "Sound of Music". Downstairs were two 315 seat theaters with murals of classic movie stars. The theater has been gutted and replaced by a fitness center.

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.

In the north foyer of the Trolley
Corners Theater 1 was a large mural of Star
Wars painted by Don Christensen. Stairs and platforms
gave access to four doors leading to one side of the
auditorium. A similar foyer
on the south side of the theater featured a mural from the Sound
of Music. Someone managed to remove the Star
Wars mural before the theater was gutted.

Trolley Corners Theater 1 featured
a mural from the original Star
Wars movie. The mural
shows Luke Skywalker holding a light saber over his head. Princess
Leia kneels beside him holding a blaster. In
the background is the mask of Darth Vader and a wave of X-Wing
fighters attacking
the Death Star. C-3PO and R2D2 appear in the right
corner of the mural, near the signature of its painter, Don
Christensen.
