I was looking up information on old theaters in the Midwest USA, when I came across this
story in the July 25th 1925 issue of the Kansas City, KS Star. I'm not sure how this could happen.
Was the 3rd floor being built above the 4th? ; or perhaps they had the blueprints upside down?
The workers were hospitalized, but were not too seriously injured. They returned to work a few
days later, finished the job, and the Commercial National Bank Building is still standing today.

The building still stands today, and has landmark status.

So the top end flipped up and smacked the guys on the next floor.Comment

Users Sue Amazon Prime Video for Removing Media Purchases from Their Library
By Paul Bois, 26 August 2025.
Users have sued Amazon Prime Video for removing media from their library after being purchased, accusing the company of fraudulent advertising.
Users have been “purchasing” media on Prime Video (movies, television shows) only to realize months later that their purchases no longer exists in their media library. That’s because Amazon only sells a limited-time license to its users so that they watch the movie in perpetuity until the company loses the rights.
Per The Hollywood Reporter:If the tech giant loses the rights to that version, the movie can be replaced with a different cut, like the one for theaters. And if Amazon loses the rights to the film altogether, it’ll completely disappear from the viewer’s library.
So should Amazon be able to say a consumer is “buying” that movie? Some people don’t think so, and they’ve turned to court.
Filed on Friday in Washington federal court, the class action lawsuit accuses Amazon of doing a “bait and switch” to mislead consumers into a “purchasing” media they do not actually own under false labels.
“On its website and platform, the company tells consumers they can ‘buy’ a movie. But hidden in a footnote on the confirmation page is fine print that says, ‘You receive a license to the video and you agree to our terms,’ the complaint says,'” noted the outlet.
The lawsuit only highlights the growing distrust between cinema lovers and streaming services following the decline of physical media. As Breitbart News reported in 2023, the Criterion Channel, a streaming platform that prides itself on the preservation of classic cinema, was discovered to have been airing a censored version of The French Connection that inexplicably removed the line in which Gene Hackman’s character, Popeye Doyle, utters the N-word and an anti-Italian slur.
Also in 2023, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight) threw shade at streaming services following the release of Oppenheimer on Blu-ray when he advocated that people buy physical media “so no evil streaming service can come steal it from you.”
“Obviously Oppenheimer has been quite a ride for us and now it is time for me to release a home version of the film. I’ve been working very hard on it for months,” Nolan said. “I’m known for my love of theatrical and put my whole life into that, but, the truth is, the way the film goes out at home is equally important.”Comment
