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.

Miss Corrine LaVaunt, a talented young Boston actress, will be seen at the opera house, Saturday next, in her own special play, "Fortunes of a Waif." A rare treat to the theatergoers of Price. Better take it in. Both the play and the players have received special mention in the press notices.
