Cinemas 5
Vernal, Utah
When Warren Mott and his sons opened the Twin Cinema on 23 November 1973, it was the largest theater complex between Denver and Salt Lake City. The lobby featured a huge crystal chandelier with 54 lights suspended over a round concession and ticket counter. The 500 and 300-seat auditoriums were equipped with carpeting, drapes, “stadium type upholstered seats,” stereophonic speakers, and 21 by 40 feet Cinemascope screens. The adjoining El Diamante reception center was converted to a third auditorium after Kent Limb purchased the theater in 1982.
