Moving Pictures" and "Pictured Songs": Photograph of the Joie Theatre in Ogden Utah During the City's Early Motion-Picture Boom

1911ref. BK0144Ogden Utah 1911. Gelatin silver photograph 7 ¾ x 5 ½ inches. Removed from a scrapbook with mounting residue on verso; some creasing and wear at edges and corners. Very good. An exterior view of the Joie Theatre at 2410 Washington Avenue in downtown Ogden with a group of men and women posed beneath the theater's three arched entrances. Large signs advertise "Moving Pictures" and "Pictured Songs" while strings of exposed bulbs outline the façade. Film posters freestanding advertising boards projecting lamps and neighboring storefront signs give a detailed view of the visual culture of an early western movie house. The Joie was one of Ogden's first generation of nickelodeons. The building had earlier housed the Pastime Theatre and was operating as the Joie by 1908; the theater closed in December 1911. The photograph can probably be dated near the end of that brief period. The Royal Dancing Academy sign visible immediately to the left is documented at 2408 Washington Avenue in Ogden's 1911 city directory directly adjoining the theater at 2410. The enormous "PICTURED SONGS" shows a specific era of early film exhibition. Illustrated or "pictured" songs combined a live vocalist with projected lantern slides depicting the lyrics often appearing on programs alongside short motion pictures. Ogden's 1910 directory specifically identifies M. Lulu Thatcher as a "singer Joie Theatre."1 The photograph dates to an important moment in the development of the American motion picture business in Ogden specifically. William W. Hodkinson later the first president of Paramount Pictures entered the film industry as an exhibitor in Ogden in 1907. Within a few years Hodkinson bought out his competitors expanded further into Utah and became a major west coast distributor. 1 R.L. Polk & Co's Ogden City Directory 1910 504. . unknown
