Artist's Description
Much of Arizona is an inferno in the summer. Even by 1914, the Tucson Opera House, built in 1897, did not have an adequate cooling system. Air conditioning was years in the future. Usually the temperatures became reasonable a few hours after sunset. So the solution was to show movies in a tent.
{NOTE: The first air conditioning system in a movie house was installed in the Rivoli Theater in New York City in 1925; Willls Carrier the inventor.}
The bill here is Lubin's five reel "The Gamblers" (1914). No known print exists of this production.
Like most of the early pioneers in movie making, the Lubin Manufacturing Company couldn't survive the rapid changes in the industry, especially the loss in foreign markets with the outbreak of WW1 in 1914. Lubin went out of business in 1916.

About David Lee Guss
I first became obsessed with photography and motion pictures while growing up in post WW2 Manila in the Philippine Islands in the late 1940's/early 1950's. Film noirs were a particular influence. But my first love remains the theater. I acted in numerous amateur productions from 1958 to 1978. In 1979 I earned a MA in drama from the University of Arizona; earlier getting a BA in English from the University of Minnesota, where I co-founded the first film society on campus and ran it for four years. While at the U of A, I studied with the master black and white photo essayist W. Eugene Smith (1918-1978) the last year of his life. I am the last person cited in Jim Hughes' definitive biography of Gene, as I wrote about attending his final...
