Browne Hall
Vernal, Utah

Social Hall, also known as Browne Hall, was built by a group of investors led by S. M. Browne, a saloon owner and first mayor of Vernal.  Mr. Mease and Mr. Sheldon opened the Electric Theatre in the Social Hall on 4 May 1908, showing moving pictures and illustrated songs with piano and vocal accompaniment.  In 1910, the Social Hall was sold to the Woodard family for use as a furniture store.

The "upstairs" theater at Trolley Corners had about 800 seats, stadium seating, digital sound, and curtains covering the screen.  It was a very popular theater until a new, larger multiplex blocked it from booking a good selection of first-run films.
