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.

Lighting Scheme of the Orpheus
Vernal Express, 15 December 1911
Manager C. W. Showalter of the Orpheus has installed this week a new lighting color scheme. The clusters of electric light globes in the center of the ceiling dome are alternate red, white, and blue. So also is the row at the second angle of the ceiling dome. The effect is very pleasing, adding another feature to the popularity of the beautiful hall.
