"Bwana Devil," a 3-D movie playing at the Empire Movie Theatre, 68 Oak Street. Historically important as one of the first 3-D feature film- the first was the 1922 film Power of Love- Bwana Devil is an otherwise amateurish film, redeemed somewhat by good performances and a reasonably interesting script (by director Arch Oboler). Bwana Devil incurred a host of legal problems after it was released. In Bwana Devil, Stack plays Jock Howard, a railroad worker desperate to capture the man-eating lions threatening the construction of a railroad in Africa. Article caption: "Portland Audience Views 3-D""Viewing Portland's first three-dimensional movie at the Empire Theatre, these four patrons prove a point. Head engineer Bob Hayward becomes obsessed with trying to kill the beasts before they maul everyone on his crew. The thinnish story is built around some authentic African footage lensed by Oboler in 1948. The theatre management has noticed people wearing the special eyeglasses don't turn to talk to each other much. British railway workers in Kenya are becoming the favorite snack of two man-eating lions. House of Wax is a 1953 American horror film starring Vincent Price, whose career then took a turn primarily towards horror films.. A remake of Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933), this was the first 3-D color feature film from a major American studio, following the independently-produced Bwana Devil the year before; these two movies together sparked the 3-D Movie boom of the 1950s. Directed by Arch Oboler, Robert Clampett.

In 1952, independent producer Edward Alperson attempted to buy the film for $2 million, but, according to a Jan 1953 Var article, that deal fell through, after which United Artists purchased it outright.
