The Gillioz Theatre was built by M. E. Gillioz of Monett, Missouri. Mr. Gillioz was in the business of building bridges, and the theater was built with steel and concrete. Wood was only used for handrails, doors, and doorframes. The original cost of the building was $300,000. Renovation costs totaled approximately $1.9 million. The theater opened on October 11, 1926, in Springfield, Missouri. Gillioz managed to secure a 100-year lease on one wide piece of property which bordered on U.S. Route 66, so that the theater could garner patrons who traveled on that historic highway. After many prosperous years, and many not-so-prosperous years, the "Gillioz, Theatre Beautiful" finally offered its last show in the summer of 1980, an opera. The theater was originally a transition theater, with a pipe organ for silent movies and a stage for live performances, such as vaudeville acts. A sound system was installed in 1928 with the advent of talkies. The Gillioz is mainly a concert venue. The Gillioz host a variety of entertainment such as Death Cab For Cutie, Switchfoot, Blue October, Gabriel Iglesias and more. Capacity for general admission is 1300 and for reserved seating there is 1015. ==Premieres== The Gillioz hosted the premieres of three movies: *1938 January 14: “Swing Your Lady” with Humphrey Bogart and Penny Singleton *1952 June 6: “The Winning Team" with Ronald Reagan *1952 July 4: “She’s Working Her Way Through College,” also starring Ronald Reagan 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gillioz Theatre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
