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.

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.
