The Orpheum at 132 South State Street operated as a movie theatre called the Lyric when I was growing up in Salt Lake in the 50’s and 60’s. In addition to the 8 downtown theatres listed by Chuck1231 there were two others that I remember: the State and the Gem, both on State Street as I recall. There is another big one at 253 South State Street that closed before 1958. It opened in 1908 and was called the Rex. It was later called the Strand. It has a large lobby that has been used in recent years as an art gallery. There were others too. See http://utahtheaters.info/TheaterList.asp
