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.”

Thorley Theatre Opens Sunday with New Program
Iron County Record, 16 December 1931, page 1
All new equipment has been installed in the Thorley Theatre on Main Street and the big opening program is scheduled for Sunday, December 20, according to the announcement in this issue of the Record.
Melvin Thorley is in charge of the theatre and promises theatre-goers the best money can buy in sound pictures. The new equipment consists of Western Electric machines and the latest sound screen. This screen is much larger than the old one. Western Electric equipment is the best that can be had and with this installation gives Cedar City two of the best sound theatres in the state.
