Oracle Theatre
Ogden, Utah
Following the success of the New Electric Theatre, Charles Ziemer, H. A. Sims, and Albert Scowcroft opened Oracle Theatre on Washington Avenue. Stanley B. Steck acquired the Oracle in April 1917 and changed the name to Cozy Theatre. Harmon Peery of the Ogden Theatre Company took over management when Steck sold the business in 1923. A few days later, A. M. Miller purchased the building and announced plans to replace the theater with a modern store once the lease expired. Two years later, theater was “made vacant” and a remodeling permit was issued.

Manti Messenger, 2 February 1912, page 2
Salt Lake City – The interior of the Shubert theater, 321 South Main street was destroyed by fire Friday morning. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Baker and five small children, the eldest of whom is 13 years, all of whom were sleeping in the second story of the building, narrowly escaped death and did not leave the burning structure until the entire building was in flames and until two circles of the theater had collapsed.
