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.

Bought the Princess
Carbon County News, 5 June 1913, page 6
Messrs. E. C. and G. F. Durkee, brothers, from Provo, have purchased the Princess Theater, located in the Short building, and are now in charge of this popular playhouse. Since taking charge, they have spent considerable money improving the place, having put in a reactifier that steadies the light for the pictures and makes them much easier on the eyes. They are showing the high-class trust pictures and show signs of having come to stay.
