Between 1914 and 1918, Nephi's Arlington was considered one of the top theaters around.

The two photos were taken from the book "They Left A Record", which shows a great history of Nephi, Utah. It has a photographic description of one of the finest theaters around for live productions. The Juab County Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum has an excellent photo of the inside, which shows it luxuriousness. In case you missed the Nephi High School Alumni Mid-Year Ball of 1916, I have a ticket if you are willing to pay the ticket price of  75 cents, but that seems to be a lot for way back then. Now who did the ticket belong to. Let's pretend you were a 23 year old man, who is tall; good looking and college educated and just returned from World War One, where you were severely injured, but welcomed home to Nephi as a War Hero. There was a lot of pencil scripting on the back of this ticket, but it appears he repeatedly wrote the name of the finest woman around, and Vic Jones would marry Alberta Blackett in 1920, as she had been his love of life.
