Pittsburg Gave Birth to the Movie
Theater Idea.
From The Dispatch, 16 November 1919,
by E. W. Lightner.
The first exclusive moving pictures
theater in Pittsburg and the world was
opened in 1905 by Harry Davis and
John P. Harris in the Howard Block,
west side of Smithfield street, between
Diamond and Fifth avenue. Curious to
say, the second exclusive picture
theater of the world was opened in
Warsaw, capital of Poland, by a
Pittsburg Polander, who saw the
Davis-Harris adventure and recognized
the possibilities of presenting so
wonderful and profitable a development
in his native country.
