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.

Those Who Are to be Seen at Ogden's Little Theatre
Ogden Standard Examiner, 12 November 1919, page 2
Arrangements for Ogden's "Little Theatre,” which will be opened at the site of the Rex theatre, between Lincoln and Grant avenues, on Twenty-fifth street, are progressing rapidly, and the principals for the cast of the first production have been chosen. Mrs. Ella O'Niell Ballantyne and Ray Ryan will be the leading characters, while others will be selected immediately after the play to be produced, has been decided upon.
Rev. Godfrey Matthews and Attorney Dan Sullivan have the matter in charge, Rev. Matthews having been given authority to pass on the play which the amateurs will produce. Attorney Sullivan will act as stage director.
A meeting will be held this afternoon at which the title of the first production probably will be chosen. It is anticipated that the work of rehearsing the play will begin at once.
Attorney Sullivan emphasizes the fact that all who wish to participate will be given opportunity and that the players will be chosen for their parts according to their merits.
