AMC or American Movie Cinema, started in 1920. This chain first popped up under the name of Durwood in Kansas City, Missouri. After WWII the founders son, Stanley, changed the name to what we know it as today. With this change he brought military style management he learned from his time in the United States Air Force. This combined with his Harvard education allowed the company to expand to what it is today with over 338 locations all over the world.

Who were the main enemies of Shakespeare's theatre?

Shakespeare is not known to have had any enemies personally, unless you count Robert Greene, but the theatre business as a whole was under attack in Shakespeare's day. It would be better perhaps to leave Shakespeare out of it and ask who were the main enemies of the theatre industry in Elizabethan and Jacobean England. The answer is that there were two: City Fathers and Puritans.City fathers objected to the presence of theatres in the city because they drew crowds, which caused traffic jams, encouraged crime (as in pickpocketing) and the spread of communicable disease. Political correctness kept them from seeing that the same was true of the churches. The churches, however, were not usually host to brawls or inflammatory speeches as theatres sometimes were. All in all, the City of London did not allow the big public theatres to be built there so they had to be built in the seedier suburbs to the north and south.The Puritans hated theatre because they were opposed to people having a good time. Instead of watching the plays in the theatre, they felt that people should go to church and listen to sermons for three hours at a stretch instead.

At the globe theatre how did the audience behave?

you would have been expected to behave silent and if you werent you would be kicked out and they would have took all your money/shillings. Actually, no. The audiences were more rowdy than that, though apparently not as rowdy as they were at other theatres like the Fortune or the Red Bull, known for having brawls between audience members, or when there was a riot at the Swan and the theatre was seriously damaged, both physically and in reputation.

What did religious people think of shakespeare's plays and theater?

Not all religious people were anti-theatre. In fact most of them were in favour of it. There was this small but extremely vocal group of ultra-protestants called the Puritans who were opposed on principle to people having a good time. They felt that if people were going to gather together to hear something, it should be a sermon, not a play. They were the biggest opponents of theatre (all theatre, not just Shakespeare) and when they came to power they had all of the public theatres closed and plays made illegal in 1642.

What sort of people went to the Globe Theatre?

Everybody except the very poor (who could not afford the ticket price) and the very rich (who could afford to hire the actors to come and perform in their homes). There were also people who did not like any kind of theatre, such as the Puritans who were opposed to people having fun, and extreme lowbrows who were only interested in bearbaiting and other blood sports. They didn't show up at the theatre. And of course the Globe was only one of several theatres operating in London at that time; there were theatre patrons who chose to watch actors from companies other than the Chamberlain's/King's Men, such as the Admiral's or Worcester's or for a time, the Children of Paul's or the Chapel.
