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.

New Scenery For Star Theatre
Eureka Reporter, 25 June 1915, page 8
New scenery, exterior and interior settings, and new drop curtains will be installed in the Star Theatre within the next few days. Orders were placed some weeks ago with the Spokane Scene Studio at Spokane, Wash. and while the new scenery is being placed in the show house the advertising curtain will be brought up to date, new ads taking the places of the old ones which have expired.
During the coming show season the management of the house will make a strong bid for some of the best road shows and local show goers are sure of having the privilege of witnessing some good attractions.
