The Isis made news on July 9, 1960 when African American patrons decided to test the Fox Midwest’s policy of the Isis to serve only White customers in an organized demonstration. With dollar bills in hand, the Isis refused to sell tickets or allow entry. The theatre closed an hour and half later - two hours early - refusing entry.
