Organ Loft
South Salt Lake, Utah
Lawrence Bray opened the Organ Loft in 1946 after installing the theater organ from the Utah Theatre in his aunt's former chicken coop. The Organ Loft holds silent film festivals several times a year, but makes most of its income from banquets and wedding receptions. The theater's organ has 2,400 pipes ranging in size from 8 inches to 16 feet.

Cineplex Odeon opened the Holladay Center Cinemas on 3 June 1988,
proclaiming it to be "the return of the elegant theatre." The
six-screen multiplex featured "state-of-the-art wide screened cinemas"
with "luxurious plush seating", "elegantly-designed contemporary
interiors with marble floors", an original painting by artist Paul
Sloggett, same-day advance ticket sales, and real butter on the
popcorn. All auditoriums were equipped for Dolby Stereo and at one was
equipped for 70mm presentations.1
After 14 years, the theater closed in March 2001 as part of the Loews Cineplex bankruptcy reorganization.
On
20 April 2001, Westates Theaters re-opened the Holladay Center after
spending "several thousand dollars to refurbish several hundred of the
seats in the Holladay Center's six auditoriums, install new computer
software for ticketing and concessions and spruce up the sound in the
auditoriums." "We think we've got the best theater in the area," said
Tony Rudman Jr., vice president and corporate counsel for Westates.
"This is a premium facility, and it's the perfect location. This
theater fills a need for the area."2
