An Article from the Daily Herald 11 November 1976, Page 18 AMERICAN FORK — Mr. and Mrs. DeLoy Sallenback have purchased the Coral Theater from the Miller Theatre Corporation.
DeLoy and Bev Sallenback and their family of five children are from Canada, where DeLoy practiced law for many years.
Sale of the Coral Theater ends half-a-century of the Miller family theater business in this part of the county.
The Coral theater is the last of four theaters that have been operated by the family in American Fork, Lehi and Pleasant Grove.
John H. Miller purchased the local theater in American Fork in 1926, remodeled it and changed the name to the Cameo. He afterward acquired the Royal Theater in Lehi, and the Grove Theater in Pleasant Grove. In 1950 Mr. Miller opened a new theater in American Fork and named it the Coral in honor of his wife, Cora.
Site of the Cameo is now occupied by the Christensen Department Store.
After Mr. Miller’s death, his son Clifford became manager until 1975. A son-in-law, Helmut Reimschissel has been manager until the recent sale.
Latest Update:
UPDATE ON 4TH STREET THEATRE JULY 2014 (UPDATE by Carolee Hazlet)
We now have an occupancy agreement from the city so we can have events in the 4th Street Theatre. We have met all the specification requirements so we can now hold events there even though we are not completely done with the restoration. We have had many requests to have an event there so having the agreement will help a lot.
Several groups have already held small events there by bringing in their own chairs, sound equipment and other things needed.
The DECA girls held a very successful talent show, the Annual State Teachers meeting was held there and Miss Railroad Days contest was held there as well as many tours have been to groups attending family or class reunions. We are always pleased to give tours to any individual or group that is interested so please contact us. Even though the restoration is not quite complete people are really enjoying the historic old theatre.
We continue to fund raise as we have some very costly items to get such as the carp stage curtains, Sound equipment and stage lighting, then there are quite a few smaller things like the brass hand rails, memo board for the refreshment stand. We now have the balcony seats but have to get the seats for the front of the auditorium yet. The side wall molding’s and the large ceiling chandeliers are being worked on now and we have to get those installed before we do the other aforementioned things as big equipment has to be take inside to install those.
One of our fundraisers was “The Follies” for Railroad Days”. It was a tribute to the Krazy Kats and was quite successful raising about $1,700. We are now in the process of planning a Classic Movie Party on Oct. 14 to raise money for the permanent movie screen and projector. The cost of this will be $10,000. We are planning on having classic movie nights after the restoration is completed.
We have been invited to “Sister” with the Morecambe Winter Garden Old Theatre in Britain. The Board of Directors have approved the partnership so this will be exciting to be able to promote the 4th Street Theatre abroad as well as in the US. We will work together which will give us many advantages in the theatre world.
More and more people are showing interest in the completion of the restoration and we are getting there. Hopefully the next update will be to announce the date of the Grand Opening
