Capitol Theatre

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.

Clark Planetarium
Salt Lake City, Utah

The Clark Planetarium opened on 11 April 2003 and was built as a replacement for the Hansen Planetarium.   The ATK IMAX Theatre at the Clark Planetarium was the first IMAX theater in Utah and has 70-foot wide screen.   The Hansen Star Theatre has a 55-foot domed screen and the world's first digital star projection system.   The planetarium also has free exhibits, including scale models of the planets of the solar system and recreations of the lunar and Martian landscapes.
