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.”

Jumped From Roof of Building
Davis County Clipper, 11 February 1910, page 2
Salt Lake City - Pursued by two policemen George Johnston, a laborer, who had acted suspiciously in the central part of the city Tuesday night, tired of the chase and rushing to the roof of the Luna theater in Third South street by means of a fire escape, committed suicide by leaping from the building to the sidewalk, three stories below. His skull was fractured, both upper jaws were broken and both arms and legs badly crushed.
