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.

Bow Party
COME ONE, COME ALL. TO SOCIAL HALL.
Vernal Express, 20 February 1891, page 3
Next Monday evening Feb. 23. 1891 there will be a bow dance at the new hall. The ladies understand of course that they each make two bows or neckties, one the lady wears, the other one she takes to the hall in a scaled envelope and delivers to the door-keeper. In due time the drawing takes place and the gentlemen consider that the lady who wears the match for his bow is his partner for the evening. All are invited.
