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.

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.
