The Opening of the Elysium

By Matthew Bieniek

It's March 1926, and the usually sleepy town of Odagamig, Wisconsin is a beehive of activity. The yearlong construction of the Elysium Theater is almost finished, just in time to host the Midwest premiere of The Black Pirate, the new feature film starring Douglas Fairbanks. Politicians, reporters and other dignitaries, including Fairbanks himself, have converged on the town for the opening. But not everyone is happy that Odagamig now has the premiere movie palace in northeastern Wisconsin. Theater owners in Green Bay and Oshkosh are upset that a rival chain from Chicago is moving into their area and overshadowing their own modest facilities. And the workers who are putting the finishing touches on the new facility have reported strange goings-on in the cavernous auditorium. Some even think the building is haunted.
