New Shakespeare Theatre
Cedar City, Utah
On 16 February 2012, the Utah Shakespeare Festival announced plans to build a $26.5 million Shakespeare theater on 200 West, between Center Street and College Avenue. The new 900-seat theater will feature amenities missing from the current Adams Memorial Shakespearean Theatre, such as public restrooms and a backstage area. A retractable roof will expand the season and allow for possible year-round usage. The playhouse will allow for additional performances, which will draw an additional 30,000 patrons to Cedar City and increase the economic impact of the Festival by an estimated $8 million annually.

Jitneys Are Taken out of Service
Ogden Standard Examiner, 12 April 1915, page 5
The Jitney Service company decided yesterday to take its regular five-cent fare buses out of service, believing that the bonds required under the new city ordinance made the service virtually prohibitive. The company had been running five cars on the mains streets of the city and would have had to furnish a bond of $25,000 in order to keep them in service.
The company has established a garage in the old Globe theatre building and will operate a special service to Ogden canyon and probably to some of the country districts.
