Amusements (Advertisement)
Park Record, 23 August 1913, page 3
Notwithstanding the fact that the new Quinn theater was built half finished for the opening show last Sunday night, standing room was at a premium before the time for the opening. It was a great reception for the new management and portends that his patrons appreciate his effort to give them a cosy show house and good attractions. The opening bill was a dandy, and the music, under the leadership of Prof. Smith, all that could be asked. The selections are always appropriate and the tone and excention are perfect and seem to hold the audience spell bound. The Record is of the opinion that Manager Quinn never had better music than he is now giving his patrons. At this house a complete change of program has been given nightly the past week resulting in crowded houses and universal satisfaction. The new play house is just forging into popularity. Complete change tonight and the usual big Sunday program for tomorrow night.
Messrs. Rasband and Wilde, the new managers of the Dewey theater, gave their fist show last Sunday night to a good house. The gentlemen have purchased new picture machines and other paraphernalia that enables them to give their patrons the best that is going. Five reels of licensed pictures are given every night, with music from a five piece orchestra that gives perfect satisfaction. The shows given here are equal to any given i the big houses and patrons have no causes to complain at not getting their money's worth. Park City gives as much for ten cents in the moving picture line as any big house in the country – and it is no wonder that the local houses are patronized to liberally. The big Sunday program at this place of amusement will be as interesting has ever.
Carpenter Count Collins is making a neat place out of the new Quinn theater. Count is a real genius, that is all there is to it, and when it comes to doing things he is always “Johnny on the spot.” What he can't do in the building or electrical line is not worth doing. There is much yet to be done to complete this place of amusement, but when finished it will be as neat, cosy and attractive as any small play house in the state.
Manager Wilde of the Dewey informs the patrons that everything is now in readiness at that house for many big attractions that are already booked. The theater has been cleaned and renovated throughout, new opera chairs have been installed and the gallery all seated with comfortable chairs. Other contemplated improvements are under way for the comfort and convenience of the patrons of this big popular show house.
Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at the Dewey theater Prof. Carathers, the wonderful hypnotist, and Miss Stella Alles, the great mental wonder, will entertain with hypnotism and mind reading. These people have been playing in Ogden, and the press of that city speaks very highly of them. The Bakerfield, Cala., Echo says: “Prof. Carothers, the clever young hypnotist, who is playing an engagement at the Lyceum theater, packed the building to the street with a crowd that for an hour and a half howled itself hoarse over the side-splitting antics of the hypnotized youths. There was sufficient local color to fill the house with delight, and the effect was delightfully entertaining.”
