Uintah Theatre
Vernal, Utah
On 29 April 1912, the New Uintah Theatre opened in the former Elk Building, which had been remodeled “along the latest moving picture house lines, with sloping floor, soloists platform, etc.” The ticket office was outside, under a “blaze of rows of electric lights.” Patrons of nearby towns appreciated having hitching posts on the premises. The New Uintah closed sometime prior to 1932. The E. W. Davis furniture store occupied the building before it became a piano store called the Henderson-Barlett Music Company.

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."
