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.

Reopening of the Rex motion picture theatre on Twenty-fifth street near Lincoln avenue for the winter season, was announced today by Manager S. B. Steck, who also operates the Lyceum and Cozy.
The first show will begin tomorrow afternoon offering “Back to God's Country,” with Neil Shipman and a Christy comedy, “Wild and Western,” featuring Fay Tincher.
The theatre has been completely renovated, said Manager Steck. The interior has been freshly painted and retinted, following the color scheme of the two other Steck theatres.
The Rex has been closed for about a year.
