Oracle Theatre
Ogden, Utah
Following the success of the New Electric Theatre, Charles Ziemer, H. A. Sims, and Albert Scowcroft opened Oracle Theatre on Washington Avenue. Stanley B. Steck acquired the Oracle in April 1917 and changed the name to Cozy Theatre. Harmon Peery of the Ogden Theatre Company took over management when Steck sold the business in 1923. A few days later, A. M. Miller purchased the building and announced plans to replace the theater with a modern store once the lease expired. Two years later, theater was “made vacant” and a remodeling permit was issued.

Arts centers: one, 2 or 23?

Article Summary:
County Commissioner Gary Herbert says it's not realistic to have a cultural arts facility in every city in Utah county and is organizing a county arts council to consider where it should be built. Ray Carter, who has been raising funds for an arts center in Lehi, has seen a slowdown in fund raising following Herbert's actions, but still expected to break ground in June.
