Roosevelt Twin Theatre
Roosevelt, Utah
George H. Harrison and R. Howard Harrison opened the $40,000 Roosevelt Theatre on Valentine's Day, 14 February 1942, with Shirley Temple in Kathleen. The “modern up-to-the minute motion picture theatre” was described as “new, beautiful, and elaborately equipped.” The interior color scheme was peach, green, and beige, with red velour curtains and drapes. The 500 seats in the auditorium were “arranged on a slight arc so that every seat directly faces the screen.” The stage was large and had floodlights, so the theater could “accommodate many types of entertainment” and serve as “a community playhouse as well as a motion picture theatre.”

'Lawrence' Opens Today In Orem
Deseret News, 15 September 1989, page W2
Article Summary:
The SCERA theater was probably the smallest market in the United States
to show the restored 70mm version of "Lawrence of Arabia." The film
opened at the SCERA on 15 September 1989, following the installation of
a new Dolby SR sound system in the 28-speaker, 756-seat auditorium.
Technicians also realigned the theater's speakers especially for the
film. It was the first film to show in 70mm at the SCERA since 1985.
