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 Amity Drive-In Theatre opened before 19631 and was located south of Ephraim, at about 810 South Main Street. By 1970 the theater had been renamed the Chapparal Drive-In Theatre.2 The theater was owned at one point by Wilford Steiman. In 2005 all that was left of the drive-in was a short brick wall and a sign along the edge of the highway.
