McGRAIN and WILLIAM HOLLIFIELD VOL. 38 NOS. 3 & 4 SPRING 2007 VOL. 39 NOS. 1 & 2 The History of Motion Picture Exhibition in Towson By William Hollifield One might think that the Towson Theatre, which operated from 1928 to 1992, was the first place in Towson where motion pictures were shown to the public. The theater building is still where it always was but it has a different name on its marquee. However, before the Towson Theatre opened, movies were being shown to the public across the street in the Odd Fellows hall which was called the Community Theater. Earlier, movies were shown in another theater just down the block from the site that became the Towson Theatre. This theater was called at var- ious times the Recreation, the LeRoi, and the Columbia. Earlier still, at York Road and Pennsylvania Avenue there was an out- door theater, called the Airdrome, which operated only briefly. Movies were also shown on a regular basis in the church halls of some of Towson's churches. The earliest showings of motion pictures in Towson were exhibitions held on one or sometimes two successive evenings in one of the churches. The first of these may have been on July 31, 1902, when Captain Charles H. Stanley presented his "pop- ular program of entertainment," consisting of motion pictures and original songs, in Calvary Baptist Church. Refreshments were offered for sale on the church lawn afterward. On Monday evening, November 17, 1902, B.B.H. Lawrence, a representative of the Edison Motion Picture Company of Washington, D.C., with "a competent corps of assistants" con- ducted an exhibition of motion pictures in the Towson Methodist Episcopal Church. It was announced as being a rare treat, showing actual events throughout the world, including the recent coronation of King Edward VII of Great Britain.

But their fears were calmed when they remembered it was only on canvas. The company exhibit a large number of marine views that were simply superb, especially the feeding of Mother Carey's chickens when one can almost imagine he hears the rush and whir of the gulls' wings. The erup- tion of Mt. Pelee and the destruction of the city of Martinique with its thousands of inhabitants was a realistic scene. What pleased the little ones was the old-time fairy tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. If a return engagement can be secured, we bespeak for the management a much larger audience.

Scheck presented their "popular motion picture entertainment" at Calvary Baptist Church in Towson. Theater historian Robert Headley states that Pearce and Scheck, who later operated theaters in Baltimore, held exhibitions in various locations in and near Baltimore during the period 1902-1907. On a Friday in October 1906, a moving picture exhibition was held in the Guild Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church in Towson. The program featured films of San Francisco before and after the earthquake and fire of April 1906, including the city in flames, dynamiting the buildings to try to impede the fire, outdoor kitchens and other facilities for the refugees, a trip through the wrecked city, and a panorama of Golden Gate Park. In addition, there were scenes from the Oberammergau Passion Play, "a New York fire run, spring house cleaning, evolution of a butterfly, illustrated songs, pictorial stories, musical specialties and other features representing pathos, mystery and comedy." The admission cost for the hour and a half program was 20 cents. The proceeds were said to have been for a worthy cause. Another moving picture entertainment was held at the Calvary Baptist Church as it appeared between 1892 and 1929, Towson Methodist Episcopal Church on a Thursday and Friday when it was destroyed in a fire. Motion pictures were first shown in May 1907 with the proceeds to be used to pay for the here in July 1902. recarpeting of the Sunday school room. PAGE 3 HISTORY TRAILS OF BALTIMORE COUNTY SPRING 2007 A moving picture entertainment was held at Calvary Baptist Church by the Junior Christian Endeavor Union on Friday evening, May 1, 1908. By early 1909 motion pictures were apparently no longer a novelty for local people. Those in Baltimore County who were interested could see them in Baltimore. Towson's Union News, reporting on the opening of a moving picture theater in Highlandtown—then in the county—stated, "And now they are going to have a moving picture show at Highlandtown. There ought to be enough of these in Baltimore already to fill the public demand. Looks like they are too thick to thrive." Exhibiting the same lack of enthusiasm, the paper stated in July 1910, "Towson would never have been happy until it had; so now it can be safely said its cup of joy is complete.

Date 7 May 1915 Time 14:10 – 14:28 Location North Atlantic Ocean, near Old Head of Kinsale, Ireland Cause Torpedoed by German U-boat. Outcome • 1,198 of the 1,959 people aboard killed, leaving 761 survivors. • Turned international opinion against Germany and led towards American entry into World War I. The sinking of the Cunard ocean liner RMS Lusitania occurred on 7 May 1915 during the First World War, as Germany waged submarine warfare against Britain. The ship was identified and torpedoed by the German U-boat U-20 and sank in 18 minutes. The vessel went down 11 miles (18 km) off the Old Head of Kinsale,[1] Ireland, killing 1,198 of the 1,959 people aboard, leaving 761 survivors. The sinking turned public opinion in many countries against Germany, contributed to the American entry into World War I and became an iconic symbol in military recruiting campaigns of why the war was being fought.[2] Lusitania had the misfortune to fall victim to torpedo attack relatively early in the First World War, before tactics for evading submarines were properly implemented or understood. The contemporary investigations both in the UK and the United States into the precise causes of the ship's loss were obstructed by the needs of wartime secrecy and a propaganda campaign to ensure all blame fell upon Germany. Argument over whether the ship was a legitimate military target raged back and forth throughout the war as both sides made misleading claims about the ship.

ANDER- SON was born of an old Norwegian sturdy and hardy stock in the town of Cambridge, Massachusetts, on October 15, 1891. Almost from the day on which he could take a pencil in hand he was fascinated by and attracted to the artistic means of expression afforded on a flat surface. At the age of thirteen, he moved to Philadelphia, where a few years later he became a matriculate at the Pennsylvania Museum School of In- dustrial Art. Awarded a scholarship for his promising and merito- rious work there, Mr. Anderson became inspired further by the association with men active in all forms of artistic enterprise and began the deep study of antique and mod- ern art. While thus absorbed, his canvasses were ac- cepted by numerous publishers. The outbreak of the Great War, instead of disrupting his procession, offered a stimulus for it, particularly in the depiction of the history of the Medical Corps while assigned to duty with the Unit of Medical Illustrators.

  • LONGACRE THEATER, 220-228 West 48Th Street , Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 8, 1987; Designation List 197 LP-1348 LONGACRE THEATER, 220-228 West 48th Street , Manhattan. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1019, Lot 50. Built 1912-13; architect, Henry B. Herts. On June 14 and 15, 1982 , the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a pub 1 ic hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Longacre Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No.44). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Longacre Theater survives today as one of the historic playhouses that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Constructed in 1912-13, the Longacre was built to house the productions of Broadway producer and baseball magnate Harry H. Frazee . Designed for Frazee by Henry Herts, prominent theater architect, the Longacre is among the earliest surviving Broadway theaters, and has an exceptionally handsome facade. Like most Broadway playhouses built before World War I, the Longacre was designed by a leading theater architect to house the offices and theatrical productions of its owner. Though known as a baseball magnate, and at one time the owner of the Boston Red Sox, Frazee was also an influential Broadway producer who, besides building the Longacre theater, at one time also owned two other Broadway houses (the Harris and the Lyric).
