Stringham Theatre
Price, Utah
C. M. Stringham, proprietor of the Eko Theatre, purchased a lot on the north side of Main Street, with the intent of building a 1000-seat, first class theatre. The building was to be “a good and substantial one,” a theatre of which Price could “well be proud and one that will be the equal, on a smaller scale of course, of any theatre in the state in beauty and completeness.” At one point, construction was to start within 60 days. Instead, Stringham purchased the Colonial Theatre four years later and moved to Ogden.

Arts centers: one, 2 or 23?

Article Summary:
County Commissioner Gary Herbert says it's not realistic to have a cultural arts facility in every city in Utah county and is organizing a county arts council to consider where it should be built. Ray Carter, who has been raising funds for an arts center in Lehi, has seen a slowdown in fund raising following Herbert's actions, but still expected to break ground in June.
