Ritz Cinemas
West Valley City, Utah
Carmike Cinemas opened the Ritz Cinemas and Hollywood Connection Family Entertainment Center on 20 November 1998. The 165,000-square-foot complex was part of an “entertainment mecca” which included the Hale Centre Theatre and the West Valley City E Center (now the Maverick Center.) In addition to 15 movie screens, the Hollywood Connection included a carousel, roller coaster, bumper cars, miniature golf, skating, arcade, restaurant, ice cream parlor, and laser tag. Carmike's goal was to have enough entertainment under one roof so families wouldn't have to go around town.

Bought the Princess
Carbon County News, 5 June 1913, page 6
Messrs. E. C. and G. F. Durkee, brothers, from Provo, have purchased the Princess Theater, located in the Short building, and are now in charge of this popular playhouse. Since taking charge, they have spent considerable money improving the place, having put in a reactifier that steadies the light for the pictures and makes them much easier on the eyes. They are showing the high-class trust pictures and show signs of having come to stay.
