Colonial Theatre
Salt Lake City, Utah

The Colonial Theatre was built by the Auerbach brothers in 1908 at a cost of $150,000 to show plays by traveling companies with the Northwestern Theatrical Association.  The interior was decorated with ivory and gold, with green sidewalls, carpets and draperies.  It had a seating capacity of 1936, with box seats and two balconies.  It showed movies as the Victory Theatre.  About 1942 it was destroyed by fire.

The Trolley North theater opened sometime in the early 1970s and was originally named "Mark II" because it was a twin theater.  On 27 November 1974, Trolley Theaters formally took over management of the theater and renamed it Trolley North.  Sometime later a larger, third auditorium was added.

Plitt took over the Trolley Theater chain in the 1980s and then Plitt became Cineplex Odeon.  Westates Theatres bought the theater and took over management of it when Cineplex Odeon entered bankruptcy.
