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.”

Fire Damages Theatre
Carbon County News, 28 October 1910, page 2
Salt Lake City - Fire partially destroyed the Daniels theatre, early Monday morning, ruined over $40,000 worth of stock of the Daniels Clothing company and drove inmates of the Bungalow hotel to the street in their night clothes. The total damage is estimated at $60,000, with insurance placed at about $25,000. For a time the flames threatened to get beyond control of the firemen, and more serious consequences seemed imminent.
