Historical Context
United Artists Theatre Circuit, Inc. was incorporated under laws of Maryland on May 22, 1926.
The company had its roots in the movie studio of the same name founded by Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, and D. W. Griffith - but legally, was always separate from it. Joseph Schenck was brought in to become UA's president in 1924, and as as part of the deal, Schenck entered into a partnership with Chaplin and Pickford to buy and construct theatres using UA's name.
The company originally operated a chain of 16 theatres located in Baltimore (4), Chicago (1), Columbus, Ohio (2), Detroit (1), Hollywood, California (1), Los Angeles (1), New York City (2), Pittsburgh (2), Portland, Oregon (1) and Louisville, Kentucky (1).
United Artists Theaters was purchased in the late 1940s by the Naify Brothers who owned theatres in the San Francisco Bay Area. Their company up until this time was called Golden State Theatres. About this time they also acquired the San Francisco Theatres owned by Samuel H Levin. These theatres were the Balboa, Alexandria, Coliseum, Vogue Metro, the Harding, and Coronet which was opened in 1949. The UA Theatres main office was in San Francisco until 1988 when it was sold to John Malone's Tele-Communications, Inc.
Today, United Artists is part of the Regal Cinemas group.
