In the jargon of our shopping malls, one end of the period-piec- e trolley route is anchored'' by the spanking new Triad Center, the other by the decade old Trolley Square. Triad Center You might, as I did when I enjoyed a sunny hour aboard the spic and span vehicles, think of the Triad Center as . our town's wave of the future. Al-- ; ready the site of slick, sleek Broad- tast House and a companion building or two, Triad will one day be much jnore a place of gleaming glass-face- d : g towers, bridges and outdoor cafes designed to be "The .Gathering Place for the future gen-- ! Ration of Salt Lakers. Urbane, unfinished and somewhat bland, today's street-spannin- : d But there is more, much more, to see and think about when riding the Brigham Street Trolley. If you board one route (as I did) across State Street from the ZCMI Mall, you'll be struck g by the contrast between the Planetarium or Alta Club with the rapidly-risin- g steelwork of the newest downtown structure climbing above the site of the vanished Federal Reserve, a building which itself re- low-lyin- Theater school for young actors and Auditions will be held May at the West Institute, 300South afid University Street, for the third annual Theatre School for Youth at the University of Utah. ; i Open to persons age 12 through 17, intensive training tjie month-lon- g program is under the direction of Xan Johnson.

An advanced section is 1 available in acting, musical theater 9-- - J6-1-8 ; : Triad is enhanced by lawns and flowbeds, brick walks (now being repaired), an ice rinkamphitheater, and, of course, the Devereaux Manrehab" spotsion, the century-ollighted as an architectural center-piec- e and fiscal starting point for the mammoth Khashoggi-Floo- r project. Trolley Square, with its gaily ornaas its frothy mented water-towe- r centerpiece, is something of an amusement park as well as shopping center welcoming locals and tourists. Trolley is a somewhat confusing series of bays and levels in which shops and restaurants come and go, a fish mart vanishes, a steak house is born while genuine trolley cars and a California Street cable car stand immobile for Kodaking tourists outside the cavernous car barn. Combine the ambience of Triad and Trolley Square, and you realize they have given Salt Lake City a twin Disneyland of sorts, not too bad a double bill in a city long afflicted with a rather somber, sober image' Alta Club er andor directing for returning sion.

Past the LDS Temple towers and the freshly restored Assembly Hall "motor-man- " spire, your takes you out of the past century into the present, as you sight Symphony Hall, the Convention Center, and the as yet unfinished Holiday Inn. The city scene youve viewed has not been all bad! Beef and Brew After relaxing over beef and brew or bird and bottle at Trolley, hoist yourself aboard another trolley heading past the Union Pacific railroad worth a visit itstation, an self even if youre not boarding an Amtrak train. Ride the route south to c the Hilton, and Little America Hotels after first passing the Marriott and Sheraton hostelries on West Temple. Ill leave it to you to decide whether any of our towns smooth-sideboxy newcomers looks as well (outside that is) as the dowager Hotel Utah with its terra cotta decorations and beehive crown. Hall of Justice Another instructive architectural lesson is offered as your mobile classroom passes the peeling stone of the City and County Building and the far more modern Hall of Justice. Despite its scaffolding, the tower and turrets tunnel-straddlin- g gray-and-bla- old-tim- Tri-Ar- of the mansard-roofeCity and County Building, set off by leafy Washington Square, are much more pleasing (to my eyes at least) than the courts building and adjacent Police StationJailhouse. d After speeding past a brace of shoppes and the old Utah Technical College "campus," your trolley deposits you at namesake Trolley Square where you can again explore, down a liquid libation or an ice cream cone, shop, or seek out a sunny bench e until the next car clangs its gong. You'll need another quarter to get back downtown, unless you chose to walk back to State Street. Afoot or on wheels, State Street offers you a quick glimpse at the now vacant Hotel Plandome, affording you a chance to cogitate on our towns manifest need for low cost housing or modest hotel rooms. Your time machine spins past the Brooks Arcade dating to 1891, and the Center Theatre across from the reconstituted structure that once housed Auerbachs.

Alas, none of the Trolley lines thread Main Street the artery downtown rehabilitation was once designed to save. ble homes, Bailey trained a men generation of Utah architects who designed many of the better buildings you see in the downtown district. Equally important, he instilled in his students a love for the past, for the history of architecture, and a realization that architects should serve their communities when designing both private and public structures. Most architects who fell under his spell came to appreciate the need for melding structure with environment, for proper siting, for attention to zoning and environmental matters, for attention to landscaping and traffic patterns. They came to believe that the public, as well as the deserves client, deserves the best buildings that are not merely "state of the art in the engineering sense, but have their roots in the art and architecture of the past, in Rome, in Greece, in Gothic cathedrals and Ital ian hilltowns, as well as Roger Bailey con- vetemplating as your hicle ambles between ranks of city buildings old, new and Roger Bailey died this past week at 1 ! ck l(js oa MICKI & MAUDE plus STARMAN pg m iim i PORKYS REVENGE plus REVENGE OF r THE NERDS All All SEATS tl SHOWS -- OO KARATE KID plus for orhf (PG-1- THE LAST DRAGON IMM. .very Monday.
