Gem Theatre
Salt Lake City, Utah
The Liberty Theatre, later known as the Gem, opened 1 February 1911 at a cost of $20,000. The “photo-playhouse” was to be “one of the most modern motion picture houses in the west,” including “many new features which have not before been incorporated in plans for a motion picture house.” Private loges allowed patrons to enjoy “the exclusiveness and comforts of the opera box.”

The Cineplex Odeon Layton Hills Cinemas opened on 14 November 1997,
featuring "sightline seating," curved screens, and digital sound in all
9 theaters. The largest auditorium has 444 seats and an elevator to
reach the top of the stadium seating section.1
The
Layton Hills 9 was built directly behind the Cinemark Movies 10 and
Tinseltown USA theaters at the Layton Hills Mall. Originally the
Layton Hills was to have 10 screens and the Tinseltown theater was to
have 16, which would have given the area 36 first-run movie screens.2 Tinseltown ended up only having 7 screens and the Movies 10 became a discount theater.
The
Layton Hills 9 was the only Cineplex Odeon theater in Utah to remain
open after the theater chain went through bankruptcy in 2001.
