Showstar Cinemas 6
Taylorsville, Utah
The Mann 6 Theatres at the Plaza 5400 Shopping Center opened 2 October 1980 with an invitation-only gala attended by Ted Mann and his wife, Miss Rhonda Fleming. The six-screen theater closed in August 2000 as part of Carmike Cinemas’ Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but reopened in April 2001 as part of Consolidated Theaters. The theater’s name changed to Showcase Cinemas 6, then Showstar Cinemas 6, while the chain operator went from Red Carpet Cinemas to CinemaStar Cinemas. The theater closed 5 September 2016, as a new Regal Cinemas was being built across the street.

Murray Eagle, 17 May 1956, page 10
Reminiscing in Murray City Pharmacy the other day was Mrs. Conrad Nelson, a long-time Murrayite. "Why I remember," said she, "when the north side of this drug store was the Happy Hour Theatre. They showed silent movies back about 1910 or 11; had a player piano in front and sometimes, for an occasion, somebody sang or played an instrument between films."
"Pretty small theatre, wasn't it?" she was asked.
"Yes, it was - but it was only one Murray had in those days."
Well, now we have a much and a much bigger theatre - and a much bigger drugstore in the old locale too.
