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.

The Bon Ton Theatre Co
American Eagle, 23 April 1904
The Bon Ton Theatre company played at the Murray opera house Thursday evening last and will play every Thursday evening until further notice. The managers, Messrs. Sawyer & Young, inform the Eagle that it will be their plan to please the Murray public.
The show as a whole is one of the best ever exhibited in the Murray opera house, and from start to finish held the audience spell bound. The vaudeville people are adepts in their various lines, having played in all the large eastern cities and everything is clean and nice. The moving pictures presented among which was the great train robbery, was well worth the price of admission.
It is to be hoped that Messrs Sawyer & Young's efforts will be appreciated by filling the opera house every Thursday evening, and there will be an entire change of program and people each and every Thursday night.
The company played to crowded houses at Bingham Junction Tuesday and Wednesday nights and the people of that town promounce the show one of the best ever seen there.
They show in Park City Friday and Saturday nights.
