My father-in-law, Roger Johnston, was a projectionist at the Cosmo Theater. In a letter to his mother he told about his job in the booth running the Vitaphone sound projectors: “The new Cosmo Theater opened with talking pictures. The opening went over big, had a full house all day long and a double line a half block long all evening. I kept it in sync all day long. Our amplifier was burnt out yesterday afternoon (Saturday) and couldn’t get started until 4:23. Was not my fault though and I ran a perfect show when they got it started. Had a big line up last night. The theater has been playing capacity houses since opening. The largest marquee in Glendale (neon illuminated).” Letter dated: Nov. 30, 192?
