50sSNIPES commented about Villa Theatre on Aug 30, 2025 at 4:20 pm

This was once known as Villa Cinerama when the Villa Theatre became the first ever Cinerama theater in Utah on July 2, 1961. Some of its longest engagements the Villa ran during its Cinerama years include “How The West Was Won” which had its Intermountain Premiere at the Villa and ran there for 37½ weeks. Another Cinerama presentation, “It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”, ran there for 36½ weeks afterward.

50sSNIPES commented about Trolley Square Cinemas on Aug 30, 2025 at 9:53 am

The Trolley Square Cinemas 4 opened its doors on June 28, 1972, and was later operated by both Plitt Theatres and Cineplex Odeon.

The original location closed on June 27, 1988 when Cineplex Odeon opened a newer 4-screen theater close-by in a separate part of the mall the following day, also named Trolley Square Cinemas. The original location however reopened for a time as a dinner theater with live entertainment and movies but that closed five years later in 1993.

The Trolley Square Cinemas closed for the final time on January 27, 2008.

50sSNIPES commented about State Theater on Aug 30, 2025 at 9:31 am

The State Theater opened as early as 1930 and closed in late-1978. I cannot officially confirm if this was the theater’s last attraction, but it may’ve ended its life on November 19, 1978 with Walt Disney’s “Hot Lead & Cold Feet” and “The Madcap Adventures Of Mr. Toad” (or the retitled reissue of “The Wind In The Willows” from “The Adventures Of Ichabod And Mr. Toad”) according to one of its last advertisements.

The Stowe Cinema opened its doors as a single-screener on November 24, 1972 with “Snow Job”, and originally housed 270 seats (with 200 seats in the auditorium and 70 seats in the projection lounge). Two more screens were added on February 27, 1988 and the theater became the Stowe Cinema 3-Plex.

The screen was once destroyed by high winds on February 12, 1979. It reopened later that year after a new screen was installed. It appears that the Sunset closed after the 1982 season.
