I was thumbing through the local paper today and there was a big article on the Utah Theatre and its new style of shows. The article is in the “Cache” subsection of the local Herald Journal, dated November 24-30, 2006. It’s entitled “Out with the new, in with the old.” Basically, it reports that director Gary Griffin has started showing OLD films at the theatre — films starring the likes of Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly, etc. He says that people are coming out of the woodwork to see the old films, and he’ll continue to show the old flicks as long as people support them. A few of the favorites that have been shown recently are “Gone with the wind,” “It’s a wonderful life,” “Casablance,” and there will be a host of Christmas movies (Miracle on 34th street, for example) shown during the holiday season. Looks like the Utah Theatre is alive and well — even if it means showing reruns. Tyson
