Scope and Contents

It was the best of times. Everyone liked Ike, and they loved Mayor Earl J. Glade. City streets were vibrant and drive-in movies were the place to be. Women didn't go downtown without their hats and gloves. Movie houses like the Southeast Theater were packed-and not by crowds dressed in jeans and T-shirts, but in coats, ties, dresses and heels. Ushers escorted droves of ticket-holders to the Technicolor world of Doris Day and Clark Gable. Host Ted Capener takes viewers on a nostalgic journey featuring archival photographs and personal anecdotges from people who remember the fifties best. Produced by Elizabeth Searles, Utah in the 50's: Salt Lake City with Ted Capener recalls a decade when cars were snazzy, malt shops ruled, and Elvis was King.
