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.

David Maule has begun the repairing of the Lyceum theater which was damaged by a fire a short time ago. It will cost something over $1,000 to place the playhouse in as good condition as it was before the fire. Carpenters and painters are pushing the repair work and it will not be many days before the popular house is again ready for business.
