The Trolley Square Cinemas were built in the south-west corner of the Trolley Square Mall in 1988 by Cineplex Odeon.
The theater had a more luxurious style than the other multiplexes of that time. The screens were covered with curtains and all four auditoriums were equipped with Dolby Stereo. The theater was closed as part of Cineplex Odeon’s bankruptcy.

After being closed 6 months ago when Madstone theatres went out of business, Regal has reopened the Trolley Square Theatres as an Art House. It opened on Christmas day with “Return To Neverland” in two auditoriums. This is Regals first venture into the Salt Lake Market. It will be hosting part of the Sundance Film Festival this year.
I remember the Trolley Cinemas 4 back in the 70’s when it was just an independent theatre. Hey, do we remember the “interesting” uniforms of the concession girls-their “Keystone” outfits of a button jacket, blouse, “keystone” policeman’s hat, and those “hotpants” with purple stockings?

Here is a website with lots of photos of the Trolley Square Cinemas. It was operated by Regency Theatres and seating was 747 total. Btw….They list the address as 602 East 500 South.
I think that the address of 602 East 500 South is for the Trolley Square Mall, the address that Grant lists is the theatre address within the mall, 523 Troley Square.
Trolley Square is operated by Regency Theaters…. Nor Regal Theaters.
According to the Trolley Square page at the Utah Theatres website, this house operated under the name Madstone Theaters from August 2003 until it closed in June 2004. (That page also gives the number of seats in this quadraplex as 747.)
In December of 2004, the name Trolley Square Cinemas was restored when the house was reopened by the current operator, California-based Regency Theatres.
