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.

Theives Rob Thorley Theatre
Iron County Record, 3 July 1935, page 4
Two burglaries were committed during the week, the Bob Arthur Pool Hall and Thorley Theatre being broken into.
The burglars entered the pool hall Saturday night, breaking through a back window, but were unsuccessful in locating any money, Mr. Arthur suffering no loss.
Monday night they entered the theatre, picking three locks to get in. This time the thieves escaped with $28 in cash.
The officers are working on several clues but to date no arrests have been made.
