Kingsbury Hall
Salt Lake City, Utah
The University of Utah dedicated its first auditorium, Kingsbury Hall, on 22 May 1930. The $275,000 assembly hall was funded by the State of Utah and named in honor of Joseph T. Kingsbury, who served as President of the University from 1897 until 1926. Kingsbury Hall is one of nine buildings in the University Circle historic district, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The auditorium was built with a projection booth and an organ loft, to accommodate silent films.

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.
