Vogue Theatre
Vernal, Utah
The Vernal Amusement and Improvement Company opened the Vogue Theatre on 29 December 1916, with Mary Pickford starring in Poor Little Peppina. The Vogue was described as “the most modern moving picture show house in the Basin,” boasting features “right up to the minute.” The 425-seat theater had a balcony and a 17-instrument Wurlizter Plan Orchestra organ. The original name intended for the theater was “Princess,” but was changed to the “Vogue” after the management held a contest to find “the most catching name, with the least number of letters.” The Vogue Theatre closed in 1960 and was remodeled for use as the Vernal Drug Company.

Tooele Transcript-Bulletin, 17 August 2007
Article Summary:
Local businesses will be hit hard as teens and college students leave their summer jobs to go back to school. The Tooele Cinema 6 theaters will lose so many workers and patrons that its operating schedule will be forced to change in September. The theater will open at 4 PM on weekdays instead of noon.
"It can be hard to deal with when kids leave, but school does come first and you just have to work around it," said Gary Lund, Cinema 6 general manager.
