The philosophy of recreation and amusement as taught by Joseph Smith and Brigham Young has had a profound effect upon the membership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from the early pioneer days to the present day. These first two Church leaders were the authorities most often quoted on points of doctrine, and likewise their attitude still influences the theatrical ventures of the Mormons today. The original theatre in Salt Lake acted as the first meeting ground between the Mormon and the Gentile. Gentile is a name used by Mormons to indicate anyone who is not affiliated with their Church. However, if the Mormon and the Gentile could not worship together, at least they could experience their recreation together. [From the Conclusion, p. 76]
