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.

Notice to Public and all Concerned.
Davis County Clipper, 20 December 1901, page 1
After due consideration of all the facts in the premises, the directors of the Peoples Opera House & Mercantile Co. have decided to make a voluntary assignment of their business for the benefit of their creditors; believing that it will be for the best interests of both creditors and stockholders to turn the business over to a friend knowing that we have sufficient assets to cover all liabilities and save something for the original stockholders, which might not be possible in case of a forced assignment.
