Strand Theatre, Helper, UT

            Strand Theatre, 104 South Main Street, Helper, Utah. The Strand Theatre was built in 1922, probably by the Ossana family.  In the early 1930s the theater was run by William (John) Littlejohn, who moved to Helper after managing two theaters in Price. In 1935 Littlejohn lost the lease on the Strand Theatre, so he built the Bonnie Theater nearby. The Strand Theatre was then taken over by Huish Enterprizes, an independent chain of theaters owned by Charles E. Huish of Eureka. Huish had theaters in Helper and Payson, and later on in Price, Spanish Fork, Richfield, and Elko, Nevada.

The Strand Theatre had two little shops on either side of the theater entrance, one of which was used as a jewelry store and the other as a confectionary and later a dress shop. Since the Strand did not have a concession stand, moviegoers would stop in the confectionary to buy candy and popcorn. The confectionary had a little hand popper for popping corn.

In the basement of the theater was a combination pool hall and lottery, which was legal at the time. Later the Ossana family opened the Strand Sweat Shop in the basement. In 1997 the basement held an old card room, a Southwestern-themed dance hall, and a bar.

The Strand Theatre stopped showing movies sometime after 1955. The exterior, including the neon marquee and signage, have been restored in recent years.
