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.

Ogden Standard Examiner, 29 August 1908, page 6
A horse belonging to James Ford, paper hanger, 141 Patterson avenue, near the corner of 23rd and Adams avenue, and breaking its bridle dashed down 23rd street to Washington, where it continued its flight until stopped in front of the Dreamland theater. One wheel of the wagon was demolished and several pedestrians had narrow escapes in avoiding the frightened animal.
