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.

Electrician of the New Theatre Here
Vernal Express, 8 December 1916, page 1
Peter Clark, the electrician who will have charge of the picture projecting machinery at the new theatre arrived Wednesday night. He has traveled extensively and has had a world of experience in the motion picture business. His wife is a graduate of the Boston conservatory of music and will have charge of the Worlitzer combination Pipe Organ and orchestra. The instrument is a wonderful piece of music-making machinery and Mrs. Clark is competent to make it produce the best there is in it. The owners expect to open the theatre about Christmas.
