Here's an article about the upcoming opening, also in the March 16, 1928 edition of "The Columbus Dispatch." Note that the opening organist for the theater was a guest organist rather than a "resident organist." Henry B. Murtaugh was one of the premiere organists of the day. Also note that the center photo misidentifies the Greta Garbo flick as "The Diving Woman" instead of "The Divine Woman".
This small article appeared in the Columbus Dispatch on March 18, 1928. I find the part about the people admiring the rooms and not entering the theater itself to be interesting. Even today, people wander around the building admiring the architecture.
