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.”

[Picture Shows and Theater Troups are Coming In]
Wasatch Wave, 19 November 1909, page 2
That our light is attractive to people outside of town is demonstrated by the way picture shows and theater troupes are coming in. The family theater holds forth two nights a week at the Opera house, the Alice Theater started up this week in Buell's Hall, the Beach and Bowers company gave us a call this week and several other concerns are casting goo goo eyes our way.
