Capitol Theatre
Brigham City, Utah
The Elberta Theatre opened in Brigham City on 12 March 1917, built by W. H. Shurtliffe and W. R. Dredge. A unique feature of the theater was that moviegoers entered the auditorium next to the screen, allowing latecomers to find their way to their seats using the reflected light of the film. An orchestra pit below the screen had room for a piano and up to five other instruments. About 1927, the Elberta was renamed the Capitol Theatre. It is now part of the Walker Cinemas chain.

The Lincoln Theater in Delta was built in 1917 by Noble Peterson, who also built the Parmount Theater in Fillmore. The Lincoln Theater caught fire in February 1922 and was destroyed along with five other buildings. Some of the equipment and furnishings from the Lincoln Theater were saved and used in the Delta Theater when it was rebuilt in 1927.
