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.

Notice to Public and all Concerned.
Davis County Clipper, 20 December 1901, page 1
After due consideration of all the facts in the premises, the directors of the Peoples Opera House & Mercantile Co. have decided to make a voluntary assignment of their business for the benefit of their creditors; believing that it will be for the best interests of both creditors and stockholders to turn the business over to a friend knowing that we have sufficient assets to cover all liabilities and save something for the original stockholders, which might not be possible in case of a forced assignment.
