Originally named the Apollo Theater and opened in 1947. It was later renamed Avalon Theater and mainly showed second-run or classic films, with a hypnotist show on Saturday nights.
Now mainly used for concerts.

Shouldn’t the function be concerts?
This is another photo of the Avalon.
No it shouldn’t be concerts. This was back from around 1994' – 2000 before it got turned into a “concert” hall.
What is the current function of this theater? Movies are no longer shown here, correct?
Not sure… just google the avalon theater salt lake city to find out. I’m sure movies are not there. Last time I was in SLC it was just for concerts, all the chairs gone~~
