SALT LAKE CITY—An unprecedented increase<br />
in the number of art theatres has<br />
been developing in the Salt Lake City area<br />
in recent weeks. First to open, the Tower<br />
in an exclusive residential area has been<br />
operating for nearly a month. It is under<br />
the management of L. Howard Marcus, son<br />
of a former Salt Lake theatre executive and<br />
mayor of Salt Lake.<br />

to fair results on "The Man in the White<br />
Suit," "Stranger in Between," "La Ronde"<br />

more than 500 persons. An art exhibit in<br />
its lobby is co-sponsored by the theatre<br />
and the Associated Utah Artists.<br />
The Mario, located in Sugar House, a suburban<br />
area, has been reopened as the World<br />
Playhouse by H. MacKay Fraser, a former<br />
University of Utah student. Its first offering<br />
was "Miss Julie." Extensive remodeling and<br />
redecorating are planned. A snack bar setup<br />
is scheduled in an area in front of the<br />
theatre.<br />
Intermountain Theatres has instituted<br />
what it calls a Curtain Time policy at its<br />
Uinta Theatre in Provo, about 40 miles south<br />
of Salt Lake. The 600-seat house opened<br />

theatre was filled for four days of performances.<br />

audience that had the Utah Symphony<br />

Theatres, personal letters went out<br />
to a special mailing list inviting picked<br />
townspeople to attend the theatre.<br />
