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.

Enforce school alcohol ban, state urges
Deseret News, 8 November 1997, page B1
Article Summary:
The state school board wants the Utah Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission to reject a proposal by the Eccles Performing Arts Center to serve alcoholic beverages when it hosts non-school day civic events in an auditorium it shares with Park City High School. Art center officials believe they should be able to serve alcoholic beverages to adults attending performances, art exhibits, or special events such as the Sundance Film Festival. Eccles Art Center officials had envisioned seeking short-term permits for such functions.
