"The Common Law" was the first film shown at the theater, which was owned by the Strand Amusement Company. Also included is a short essay about the Colonial, as well as a movie schedule for its first two weeks in operation. From the description: " . . . we have built The Colonial Theatre that these coming productions, these super-features, might be given the showing in Montgomery which they deserve. It is to them that the Colonial Theatre is dedicated. And so we have tried to make the house befit the attractions for which it was planned. Its conveniences, the comfort of its upholstered chairs, its careful lighting, its restful decorations, its Typhoon Cooling System, its perfect projecting apparatti, its atmosphere of cleanliness and friendliness; these things are a necessary part of the plan of presenting the best efforts of the most capable directors, players and authors in the manner which they deserve." |
