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.

Article Summary:
Cache County, with a population of 85,000, has eight movie theaters. “. . . some problems arise when small children are allowed in movie theaters. Many patrons complain that crying children or babies disturb the movie for the entire theater. Most theaters have policies against allowing babies in, but the rules are rarely enforced. The Herald Journal asked five movie patrons outside Cinefour Theater in North Logan how they felt about babies in movie theaters.”
