CONFIDENTIAL ALMANAC | Dates in Film Culture History<\/strong><\/p>\n

105 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Wednesday, November 12, 1913:<\/em> Two comedy shorts, one Civil War<\/strong> drama, and an educational piece on milk production enthrall the standing-room-only crowds on opening day of the Park Theatre<\/strong>, the first dedicated movie house constructed in Champaign, Illinois<\/strong>, as chronicled in The Art Theater: Playing Movies for 100 Years<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> by Perry Morris<\/strong>, et al<\/em>. A natural progression from the nickelodeons and opera houses<\/a><\/span> that had first introduced films to the residents of Champaign and neighboring Urbana<\/strong>, this business venture between B.H. Cooper<\/strong> and Isaac Kuhn<\/strong> complements its showmanship with modern amenities and crucial safety features to provide its audience with the best viewing experience. That includes contributions from Chicago<\/strong> professionals such as projectionist John Meyer<\/strong> and architect Lewis E. Russell<\/strong>, the latter of whom drew up plans based on ideas by Cooper himself. Earlier this year, the trade magazine The Movie Picture World<\/span><\/strong> reported on the specifications for the space: \u201cThe contract for the new theater in Champaign, which will be operated by [Cooper], has been let. The building of which it will form a part will cost $40,000. The front will be of rough mat brick trimmed with cream-colored terra cotta. Steel and concrete will be used in the construction of the theater, which has a round space of 44 x 132 [feet]. It will seat 600 persons. For the ventilating system, two-horsepower fans will force air from the rear of the theater, down through ducts that pass under the aisles. At each row of seats, steel six-inch tubes branch from these concrete ducts and open under the seats. This air will be cooled in the summer and heated in the winter. The decoration will consist of seven handsome panels on each side of the auditorium.\u201d (Vol. 17 No. 5, August 2, 1913, p.541<\/span><\/a>) Additional flourishes that would debut at the theater in 1914 include a pipe organ and console by the screen and an impressive light fixture spelling out \u201cPark\u201d to hang from the fa\u00e7ade over the sidewalk on Church Street<\/strong>. Management also would secure the Champaign County<\/strong> rights to show movies from Paramount Pictures<\/strong>, home to silent stars like Mary Pickford<\/strong>, in the new year.<\/p>\n
