Dreamland Theatre
Ogden, Utah
Charles and George Driskell were managers of the Dreamland Theatre on Washington Avenue for most of 1908. They made improvements to the playhouse in March, including the addition of landscape panels on the walls made by local artists. In August, the Dreamland added a second projector, eliminating the need for intermissions at reel changes. A claim by George Driskell that he had “worked with untiring energy” to secure exclusive engagements at the Dreamland provoked a strong response from R. W. Strong with 20th Century Optiscope, who claimed the entire credit for resolving booking conflicts lay with the national Film Service Association. Two months later, the Dreamland reopened under the management of Fred Tout and Fred Anderson.

Lighting Scheme of the Orpheus
Vernal Express, 15 December 1911
Manager C. W. Showalter of the Orpheus has installed this week a new lighting color scheme. The clusters of electric light globes in the center of the ceiling dome are alternate red, white, and blue. So also is the row at the second angle of the ceiling dome. The effect is very pleasing, adding another feature to the popularity of the beautiful hall.
