10 great places to see a classic cinema


USA Today, 22 November 2001

Article Summary:

The Villa Theatre in Salt Lake City, Utah was included in a list of 10 historic movie palaces in the United States that still are entrancing audiences.  The list was compiled by Ross Melnick and Patrick Crowley, founders of the cinematreasures.org web site.

Of the Villa, the article said, "Several mid-1990s renovations restored the theater's original 1949 murals and neon-laden facade, and with Utah's largest screen (at 93 feet), 'this 1,000-seat jewel is the last historic movie house operating in the city and is still one of the best places to see a movie in America.'"
