Electric Theatre - 1908

"Mr.  Murry, the melodious and congenial proprietor of the Electric, has spared no time or money to make the Electric a place of entertainment and amusement to all who would kill time and troubles in a most enjoyable manner."  One popular movie of the time was The Great Train Robbery, which was shown at 18 frames per second and lasted 12 exciting minutes.
