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.

Isis to be Reopened by Showman from Butte, Montana
Ogden Standard Examiner, 30 June 1915, page 6
Frank Snazel, a former well-known showman of Butte, Mont., has taken over the interests of Middlemiss and Dorlan in the Isis theatre on Washington avenue, and will reopen the playhouse on Saturday, July 3, with a new film service. The theatre is now being fitted with an up-to-date cooling and ventilation system and is to be remodeled and thoroughly renovated within a short time.
Mr. Snazel is also planning to put in an orchestra and will make its work a feature of future Isis programs.
