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.

Electrician of the New Theatre Here
Vernal Express, 8 December 1916, page 1
Peter Clark, the electrician who will have charge of the picture projecting machinery at the new theatre arrived Wednesday night. He has traveled extensively and has had a world of experience in the motion picture business. His wife is a graduate of the Boston conservatory of music and will have charge of the Worlitzer combination Pipe Organ and orchestra. The instrument is a wonderful piece of music-making machinery and Mrs. Clark is competent to make it produce the best there is in it. The owners expect to open the theatre about Christmas.
