Administrative history
Sharp's Theatre Supplies was established in Calgary, Alberta in 1931 to supply the needs of the travelling film projection business conducted by William Henry Bowerman Sharp, 1879-1954, and his family. Gray Sharp, 1910-2000, involved himself in this aspect of the business and bought out his father in 1943. The company was incorporated in 1949 and ran until 1979. It started with a staff of three and at its peak employed thirty. The advent of television adversely affected the business but it branched out into equipping theatres in Alberta and British Columbia.
