Vogue Theatre
Vernal, Utah
The Vernal Amusement and Improvement Company opened the Vogue Theatre on 29 December 1916, with Mary Pickford starring in Poor Little Peppina. The Vogue was described as “the most modern moving picture show house in the Basin,” boasting features “right up to the minute.” The 425-seat theater had a balcony and a 17-instrument Wurlizter Plan Orchestra organ. The original name intended for the theater was “Princess,” but was changed to the “Vogue” after the management held a contest to find “the most catching name, with the least number of letters.” The Vogue Theatre closed in 1960 and was remodeled for use as the Vernal Drug Company.

Better Moving Pictures
Carbon County News, 24 June 1910, page 8
Mr. Prows, who will conduct the moving picture show in the Town Hall Saturday comes to us highly recommended from Emery county where has been showing during the past two years. Every town he has visited lately has proven a success for the people and for himself. He guarantees a good show. The Spanish Bull Fight, which he will give among the lot of scenes is one, he says, has never failed to give the audience pleasure.
