New Vaudeville House to Replace Historic Building

Another new theatre is being planned for Ogden.

Work will commence Monday morning. The present small frame structure will [missing letter] ouncil today. During the year the show house will be erected on the site. It will have a seating capacity of 750 and a thoroughly up-to-date stage will be installed.

The removal of the old Lyceum theatre will mark the passing of a landmark of considerable note. For ten years the building has been used as a theatre of minor importance and for many years prior to that it had served to house a number of business institutions. It was originally built as a school house and many of the oldest residents of Ogden attended school there.
