Sažetak
I published an article, together with Filip Marinović about the “Tesla” Cinema, the fifth oldest cinema in Dalmatia, in the journal Luško Libro (no. 12, 2004). In the meantime, I found additional archival records that bring new insight into its work and other film projections in Vela Luka. Analyzing this data, I tried to answer the question when the movie theatre started its work and who were its initiators. Although I still cannot give concrete answers, the first years of cinematic work have been given a clearer outline. The year 1909 remains a possible starting point; and alongside the roles of the initiators of Antun Mirošević Delio and Kuzma Padovan Kolega, I have also highlighted the role of the manager, Rudolf Naglić. In this article, I have focused on the name of cinema and concluded that it was one of the earliest reflections of Nikola Tesla’s glory in the South Slavic areas. Along with the display of the pre-war programme of the “Tesla” cinema, traces of the travelling cinematic activity during the 1st Italian occupation (the period of “Tesla” cinema inaction) have also been noticed. There is also new data on the history of this cinema between the two wars, even at the end of the 1930s, when new owners, Drago Lovričević and Jerko Mikulandra, took it over without changing the name. Cinema “Tesla” stopped working in 1939.
