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.

Placing Steel at the Alhambra Theater
Ogden Standard Examiner, 6 October 1914, page 6
This morning the large derrick at the Alhambra theatre building began placing heavy steel beams and pillars for the ceiling and roof of the structure. One piece of steel frame work which will be placed across the arc of the stage weighs nine tons. It will rest on heavy steel pillars.
The concrete work for the basement and the first floor has been completed in the rough, and brick work has been started on the walls from the first floor.
