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.

Curtain Set to Fall on Davis Drive-In
Deseret News, 10 April 1991, page B4
Article Summary:
The Davis Drive-In opened for business in the spring of 1991, even
though the 41-year-old theater was up for sale. The theater sat on 23
acres of land and was owned by Tony Rudman of Westates Theaters, "who
is selling the site under the belief that it is worth more as prime
commerical property than as a drive-in." The theater could accommodate
800 to 900 cars for each of its two screen. If the drive-in didn't sell
in 1991, it might have opened for the 1992 season.
