Cinema 70

This was actually opened as the "Ute 70" in 1967 and was the down-the-street replacement for the original Ute Theater. The "70" tag related to its capability of running 70mm; an advertising "plus" in the late-60's and early-70's.

Actually the Cinema 70 was out on Chelton and Platte, it consisted of one large auditorium and two fairly small ones (presumably added later than screen 1) I remember seeing "Where the Red Fern grows" as a youngster, and the awful "Porky's" as a teenager. The Arcadia drive in used to be located directly behind. The Ute 70, I believe was downtown on Nevada Avenue and was briefly an antique store in the 90's.

You are right, the Ute 70 was located downtown at 21 North Nevada, It opened as a Cooper-Highland Theatre and later fell under the Commenwealth Chain. The building is still there, was used as retail and is now unoccupied. It is not listed on CT.
