County PHONE PR 36 FIRST SECURITY BANK ANNOUNCES FUTURE PLANS The Bingham Canyon Branch of Fint Security Bank will eventually be relocated in West Jordan around the first of the year. This announce-ment was made today by Lionel W. Olaen, vice president in charge of First Security's West Central Divis-ion. Mr. Olscn said that sometime after the first of the year a West Jordan office of First Security would bo opened at 7800 South and Red-wood Road on the site presently occupied by a Sinclair oil company filling station. Banking service at the Bingham office will be continued however until such time as the gradual de-molition of Bingham Canyon build-ings reaches the location the bank now occupies. At that time accounts of present customers of the Bing-ham office will be automatically transferred to the West Jordan branch. "Meanwhile, we want to remind our customers who have moved away from Bingham that we can readily arrange transfer of their accounts to a First Security Bank more conveniently located for them," said Rodney O. Chapman, manager of the Bingham office. "At the same time, however, we assure our local friends that we will be here to serve them at this location for quite some time to come."

Hart has been editor for two years. He is assisted by Jack M. DeMann. DOWN MEMORY LAN-E-WITH JOHN J. CREEDON I the present Copperfield tunnel. It was equipped with the newest and latest devices for movie viewing, and through the years the opera-tors of the Princess have kept pace with the improvements in their field. The firstt talking picture was shown in 1930 and new projectors and screens were installed as the old one became obsolete. In 1954 in connection with the Galena Days celebration commem-orating the Fiftieth Anniversary of the incorporation of Bingham and the beginning of the Utah Copper Company, the theatre was com-pletely renovated, including a huge mural of the Utah Copper and GOODBYE PRINCESS! "Backward, turn backward, O time in thy flight, Make me a little boy, just for tonight" Forty years ago, three small boye were among the large crowd at the premier performance at the new Princess Theatre, and last Sunday evening these three met again in the foyer of the theatre and remin-isced about that exciting night so long ago. I must admit that through misty eyes, I detected a trace of a tear in the eyes of Joe Brisk and Harold Chesler. It is not easy to say adieu to on old friend, even if it is just a building of concrete and plaster. Without fanfare of any sort, the Princess Theatre passed into obliv-ion September 25th with its final show, witnessed by just a few of the faithful. For forty years, the Princess has been the center of entertainment in the Bingham area with a variety of events taking place in the his-tory of Bingham. I remember well the excitement and anticipation during the build-ing of the Princess. On its comple-tion it was judged the ultimate in theatres in the state with the excep-tion of one or two in Salt Lake City. The building was owned and built by George Chandler, on the site of the old Bingham Livery. What a gala opening night some-time back in 1920. The theatre was packed and the picture was "The Valley of the Giants" with Wallace Reid starring. The new Princess was a far cry from the old narrow, single aisle show that stood near Bingham. Since that first picture, "Valley of the Giants", thousands of movies have been shown to movie fans in the district. 1 remember in the early days of the Princess, the Clays girls, Ada and Ruth operated the player piano to accompany the pictures. The mood of the picture was car-ried out by the piano. Who can for-get the stirring music signifying the charge of the cavalry, arriving just in time to save the wagon train or the fort from the attacking In-diana, or the sad refrain during "Over the Hill to the Poor House". Mrs. Nellie Jones played the piano too and we had bits of vaude-ville supplementing the movies. John Culleton would play the violin and Vera Chiara would sing. Sev-eral amateuro performed on the stage at various times. The high school plays were pre-sented in the Princess and I re-member in my senior year playing the role of Nick King, burglar, in our drama, "A Full House". Later that year our graduation exercises were hel dthere. This was to be the last one, as the new high school was completed the next year in 1925. and the commencement pro-gram was held in the school audi-torium thereafter. Political rallies were an import-ant part of our community life in those e days, when the city offices weru fought for with much vim and vigor by the rival candid-ates. Oratory rose to great heights, especially during the campaigns of Dr. Straup and Dr. Flynn. 1 can still see Dr. Flynn leaning over the footlights and pointing his finger at Dr. Straup, and calling him "Little Napoleon" and a few other choice names. At the next rally, Dr. Straup had his day and made his charges and name calling at the expense of Dr. Flynn. Those were exciting days and votes were fought for vigor-ously. Some very strange alliances were formed in city elections. Party lines were crossed and' politicians who opposed each other in nation-al and state elections were buddies in the city voting. The Princess was the scene of many Fourth of July speeches and free shows for the children, Christ-mas parties and war bond drives. One spring when the creek flooded, the water rose and wash-ed the stage of the theatre out into the seating area. The firemen and other volunteers worked long hours with pole to try and dear the creek bed so the floor water would subside. Guiding the desting of the Prin-cess, beginning in 1917 were Ted Chesler and Max Brisk. Later Mr. Chesler became the sole owner and after his death, his son, Harold, carried on. At the last performance, the sons of these two pioneer movie men were present to write finis to 43 years in the entertainment busi-n- NEXT TUESDAY IS REGISTRATION DAY Four registration days remain before the general election on Nov. 8th and citizens who have not re-gistered or who have moved since vooting must register or they will be unable to vote.
