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.

Daily Herald, 19 August 1974, page 4
Because of recent strikes, the University Mall Twin Theaters, scheduled to open this week, will not open until Aug. 29, according to Bill Hutchinson, manager.
Mr. Hutchinson added that the premiere performance on that date will be a benefit for Utah Valley Hospital expansion. The hospital Pink Ladies are sponsoring the event.
Doors will open at 7 p.m. The motion picture to be shown at both theaters will be "Mame" starring Lucille Ball.
