Henry Fonda had a nice run with “THE MAN WHO UNDERSTOOD WOMEN” here at the UPTOWN in October of 1959.
The Uptown can be seen in this night shot circa 1950s:

The ZCMI Center is being demolished, as far as I know, in the big downtown re-do that the LDS Church is doing.
What a shame this theatre was demolished.
A picture of this one is in the GREAT book The New Let There Be Neon,p.107.
The Uptown Theatre seated 1380 people.
