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.”

Kanab Theatre Adds New Features in Projection Equipment
Kane County Standard, 22 January 1942, page 1
Harvey Judd, local manager of the Kanab Theatre, stated this week that two high-intensity arc lamps installed over the week end are responsible for the clearer pictures now being shown at the Kanab Theatre. New shutters were also installed on the projection machines to reduce the heat on the film and thus eliminate any possible fire hazard.
