Harris' work in the entertainment industry began at Harris Comedy and Specialty Co., a company run by his father that produced vaudeville shows. In 1897 Harris Comedy and Specialty Co. showed Pittsburgh's first motion picture. On June 19, 1905, Harris and his brother-in-law, Harry Davis opened a small film theatre on a Smithfield Street storefront in Downtown Pittsburgh. The theatre, known as the Nickelodeon, was the first devoted exclusively for the exhibition of movies.[2] In addition to owning theaters, Harris held shares in two National League baseball clubs. From November 15, 1910 to December 17, 1910, Harris served as the principal owner of the Boston Doves.[3][4] Following his sale of the Boston club, Harris purchased interest in the Pittsburgh Pirates.[4] Harris was also involved in politics. From 1922 until his death he represented the 45th District in the Pennsylvania State Senate.[5][6] The Harris Theater in Pittsburgh is named in honor of Harris.[7] The John P. Harris Film Society, Point Park University's cinema club, is named after Harris.[8] {{Portal|Pittsburgh|Film|Baseball}}References1. ^{{cite news |author= |coauthors= |title=Testament of Citizenship |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=tyQbAAAAIBAJ&sjid=iUsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6487,1933520 |quote= |work=The Pittsburgh Press |date=August 31, 1934 |accessdate=2010-11-06 }} {{Atlanta Braves owners}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Harris, John P.}}{{US-baseball-business-bio-stub}}2. ^{{cite news |author= Timothy McNulty |coauthors= |title=You saw it here first: Pittsburgh's Nickelodeon introduced the moving picture theater to the masses in 1905 |url=http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05170/522854-254.stm |quote= |work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette |date=June 19, 2005 |accessdate=2010-11-06 }} 3. ^{{cite news |author= |coauthors= |title=A New Owner For Boston Doves |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ZxtaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=oUsNAAAAIBAJ&pg=4530,2578849 |quote= |work=Portsmouth Daily Times |date=November 15, 1910 |accessdate=2010-11-06 }} 4. ^1 {{cite news |author= |coauthors= |title=Boston Nationals Sold |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=79s-AAAAIBAJ&sjid=QloMAAAAIBAJ&pg=2680,5975247 |quote= |work=Boston Evening Transcript |date=December 17, 1910 |accessdate=2010-11-06 }} 5. ^{{cite web |author= |coauthors= |title=John Paul Harris|url=https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/BiosHistory/MemBio.cfm?ID=5595&body=S|quote= |work=Pennsylvania State Senate| |accessdate=30 January 2019}} 6. ^{{cite news |author= |coauthors= |title=Burgess Indorses Senator Harris |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ix8bAAAAIBAJ&sjid=2UkEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3477,2603707 |quote= |work=The Pittsburgh Press |date=March 26, 1924 |accessdate=2010-11-06 }} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.pgharts.org/venues/harris.aspx |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-11-06 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101120224215/http://www.pgharts.org/venues/harris.aspx |archivedate=2010-11-20 |df= }} 8. ^{{cite web|title=JOHN P.
