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.

Cozy Theatre to be Reopened
Former 'Rex' Will Be Used For Screening of Silent Features
Ogden Standard Examiner, 29 September 1929, page 16
Remodeling of the Cozy theatre at 225 Twenty-fifth street has been started by Stanley B. Steck, the playhouse to be ready for occupancy in about a week.
Manager Steck announced that the Lyceum theatre will be used exclusively for talking picture features and the Cozy, formerly the Rex, is to be opened for presentation of silent pictures. Several thousand dollars will be expended in the remodeling and redecorating of the Cozy, a number of workmen being already engaged on this work.
