FORTY-ONE YEARS AGO Open-Air Theater in Jacksonville, Fla. The opening of the Summer season at Dixieland Park proved a remarkable success. In the afternoon fully 1500 people visited the park and enjoyed the concert, but it was in the evening that the big crowd turned out to see the open-air moving pictures. At least 2500 people were on the grounds before eight o'clock, and the seating capacity, which had been arranged for 2000, proved entirely inadequate. Manager Da Costa and several of the directors were present, and it was at once decided to arrange seats for at least 1000 more people. The pictures started promptly at 7:30, and were very good. They could be seen nicely at a distance of 1000 feet from the elevated canvas, and were thoroughly enjoyed by the immense audience. The full 3000 feet of films were run and the entertainment lasted a little over an hour. — The Moving Picture World, May 16, 1908
