 For the Central Arkansas Library System and Little Rock Public Radio, I'm Mark Criss with an encyclopedia of Arkansas Minute. A Helena businesswoman was the first woman to build and operate a movie theater in Arkansas. Eliza Ann Ross was born in 1869 and married Abraham Miller, a prominent black businessman, in 1887. She was an active partner in his operations, and he praised her as a collector, supervisor, secretary, bookkeeper, and general manager. Instead of business failing or dropping back under her administration, it has gone steadily forward.
