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.

Article Summary:
The University Mall Cinemas, the former Cineplex Odeon 4-screen theater at University Mall in Orem, was reopened on 4 April 2003 as a dollar theater. "Dollar movies are popular in Utah County because it is home to large families and poor college students, says Don Clifton, owner of University Mall Cinemas. He is confident his discount four-plex can co-exist with the immensely popular Movies 8, which is just a few miles away."
