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.

Gem Theatre Will Move
Box Elder News, 3 October 1912, page 4
Sunday Mgr. C. O. Anderson of the Gem Theatre will remove the apparatus from the present location to the Widerborg Block on Main Street, between Forest and First South. The move is made necessary because of the remodeling being done by Mr. H. N. Bowring in erecting a new theatre. Mr. Anderson expects to have everything in running order by Monday evening so that his patrons need not miss a night.
