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.

Better Moving Pictures
Carbon County News, 24 June 1910, page 8
Mr. Prows, who will conduct the moving picture show in the Town Hall Saturday comes to us highly recommended from Emery county where has been showing during the past two years. Every town he has visited lately has proven a success for the people and for himself. He guarantees a good show. The Spanish Bull Fight, which he will give among the lot of scenes is one, he says, has never failed to give the audience pleasure.
