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.

Frank Spearman Takes over Young Theatre
San Juan Record, 22 May 1930, page 1
Frank Spearman, son of Dr. F. S. Spearman, has taken a lease on the Young Theatre and will treat the people to the best movies he can get.
Frank has become familiar with the operation of picture machines through helping at the shows given in town for the past year, so he is able to handle the projection end of the business very satisfactorily.
His first show will be presented Thursday of next week, and we bespeak for him a very liberal patronage.
