With the filing of the articles of incorporation in-corporation of the Broadway Theater company with the secretary of state Monday, somothing now in advanced photodrama is promised the moving picture pic-ture fans of this city. The company, which is incorporated for $20,000, has taken a long lease on the Mission theater, which hereafter; will be known as the Broadway theater,1 and proposes to show at slightly advanced ad-vanced prices screen -reproductions of famous plays with famous actresses and stars in tho title roles. The theater will be opened Tuesday. September I, and on account of the local interest Hazel Dawn, the Ogden-Broadway favorite of "Pink Lady" fame, will be the initial offering in the four-reol Famous Players Play-ers Film company production of "One of Our Girls' In addition, as a regular regu-lar feature, and seen for the first time in this city, the Pathe daily motion picture pic-ture news" service will be exhibited. : This featuro consists of films or Jive news of the dav taken and mailed daily j from Pathe headquarters to different I clients so that Salt Lake will in many cases seo scenes of occurrences before they have been taken off the front pages of the dailv newspapers, i Ralph Schayer, a young theatrical ! man from Colorado,' is president of the new company and will manage the Broadway theater when it opens. Associated As-sociated with him on the board of directors direc-tors are F. Eckstrom, M. II. Han-auer, Han-auer, D. J. Cavenangh and H. Salinger, all of this city. Mr. Schayer said yesterday yes-terday : We propose to give Salt Lake a motion picture theater do luxe. It is something that is being done in some of the bigger cities of the union. In Boston, for instance, they have a moving picture theater where the top price is 30 cents, and if you occupy the best seats you must wear evening dress. I don't mean to say that this will hold good in Salt Lake. But motion mo-tion pictures are here to stay. They have captured the masBes and now the classes are getting the habit, and it has been the experience in large cities where there is segregation segrega-tion of the masses and the classes and not an indiscriminate mixing of all natrons that a hieh-clasB motion picture theater is an unqualified success. The productions exhibited will be absolutely high-class and the best that money can get. One of our big assets is a contract we have from the Notable Feature Film company com-pany to supply the output of the new huge Paramount Pictures incorporation, in-corporation, the gigantic combination combina-tion of the Famous Players' Film company, in association with Daniel Dan-iel Frofiman, Charles Frohman and Henry W. Savage, which produces thirty-six features a vear and in-oludes in-oludes such stars in famous playe as Sarah Bernhardt, Mrs. Fiske, Marv Pickford, Maude Adams. Bertha Ber-tha "Kalich, Cisaie Loftus, May Irwin, Ir-win, .Tames K. Hackett, Cyril Scott, John Barrymore, James ONeill and many others. Another branch of the merger includes in-cludes the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play company, including the past and future productions of David Belasoo, the foremost successes of Liebler & Co., the premier productions produc-tions of Cohen & Harris, etc. Still a third contributor is the Bosworth (incorporated), in productions produc-tions of Jack London's books. In addition to the foregoing the Paramount Para-mount Pictures corporation proposes pro-poses to secure the cream of the world's output. The Paramount will start its first release September 1, the date we open the new house. The company already has established headquarters headquar-ters in New York and London agencies agen-cies throughout the United States, and it is a concern of world-wide scope. The Broadway theater will be absolutely ab-solutely a new proposition. Already have men been started to work on the building, which is located just west of Keith-O'Brien's. McDonald & Cooper are the architects in charge of the work, and the interior , decorations will be in Moorish designs. de-signs. Upholstered seats and the mushroom heating and cooling system sys-tem will be installed. The theater will be first-class in every respect and, I think, will make a "great hit with the Salt Lake public. |
