Uintah Theatre
Vernal, Utah
On 29 April 1912, the New Uintah Theatre opened in the former Elk Building, which had been remodeled “along the latest moving picture house lines, with sloping floor, soloists platform, etc.” The ticket office was outside, under a “blaze of rows of electric lights.” Patrons of nearby towns appreciated having hitching posts on the premises. The New Uintah closed sometime prior to 1932. The E. W. Davis furniture store occupied the building before it became a piano store called the Henderson-Barlett Music Company.

After many a season dies the swan, the poet says, but the Seagull Theater in Salt Lake City lasted just one season.
Richard K. Folsom, who founded the theater last September, said he has been forced to close down after producing 10 plays ranging from romantic comedy to serious drama.
He said actors and others involved in the effort plan to reorganize as a nonprofit repertory theater.
