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.

Arts group withdraws liquor request
Deseret News, 20 December 1997, page B3
Article Summary:
The Park City Performing Arts Foundation has withdrawn a request for a temporary liquor license at the new arts center, ending a debate over serving alcohol on school property. The foundation wanted to be able to serve alcoholic beverages at its opening gala on 10 January 1998. While state law prohibits alcohol on school premises at any time, the Park City Performing Arts Foundation requested the license saying the school does not function as a school after hours.
