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.

Thank You, Folks
Garfield County News, 6 January 1972, page 1
The former management of the Gem Theatre wishes to thank you, our many patrons, whose support enabled us to bring the world of motion pictures into Panguitch and the surrounding area.
Our last night of showing was January 1, 1972. We hope that at some future date the show house in Panguitch will be re-opened. Until that time, "so long and thanks."
