Lehi City Arts Center
Lehi, Utah
After the John Hutchings Museum of Natural History moved to the Memorial Building in 1996, the former museum was renovated and reopened as the Lehi City Arts Center. Limited by its 100-seat auditorium with a combined green and dressing room, the Lehi Arts Council announced plans in 1998 for a new performing arts complex with a 1,800 seat Broadway theater, a smaller 248-seat theater, and a theater-in-the-round. Pledges were secured for $6 million of the necessary $15 million, but fund-raising grew difficult due to competition from other Utah County arts initiatives and the 2002 Winter Olympics Games. In 2003, Lehi City unveiled a $150,000 renovation of the existing arts center.

Panguitch Kinema Burnt Down
Richfield Reaper, 14 February 1924, page 8
A. L. Stallings, president and manager of the Kinema Theaters, Consolidated, suffered a heavy loss Saturday when his Panguitch show house, also called the Kinema, burnt down completely. The fire originated during the evening performance when a film caught fire. Soon the house was a mass of flames, all woodwork and other combustibles were destroyed and even one of the brick walls collapsed. Fourteen chairs and a carpet was all that was saved. The house was erected and equipped three years ago at an expense of $10,000, and the damage is only partly covered by insurance.
