Moving Pictures or Motion Pictures were very popular at Olentangy Park. There was a Theatorium attraction, also known as the Motion Picture Exhibit or Motion Picture Building. The July 1907 fire was started by a firecracker thrown onto the roof. It destroyed the primary Theatorium building[1] and spread to other nearby exhibits like Hale's Tours of the World and the Photographic Gallery. The motion picture building was rebuilt the following year.
