Uintah Theatre
Vernal, Utah
On 29 April 1912, the New Uintah Theatre opened in the former Elk Building, which had been remodeled “along the latest moving picture house lines, with sloping floor, soloists platform, etc.” The ticket office was outside, under a “blaze of rows of electric lights.” Patrons of nearby towns appreciated having hitching posts on the premises. The New Uintah closed sometime prior to 1932. The E. W. Davis furniture store occupied the building before it became a piano store called the Henderson-Barlett Music Company.

Salt Lake City – The interior of the Shubert theater, 321 South Main street was destroyed by fire Friday morning. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Baker and five small children, the eldest of whom is 13 years, all of whom were sleeping in the second story of the building, narrowly escaped death and did not leave the burning structure until the entire building was in flames and until two circles of the theater had collapsed.
