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.

Globe Theatre Changes Hands
Box Elder News, 7 October 1909, page 4
James G. Ellis of Ogden, purchased the Globe Theatre last week from Messrs. Stark, and will operate that place in the future.
Mr. Ellis is associated with his father in “The Joie” moving picture theatre at Ogden, one of the best of its kind in the Junction City, and he will remove his family to Brigham where they will make their home, Mr. Ellis looking after this end of the business while his father will conduct the show in Ogden.
Mr. Ellis called at his office Saturday and stated that he had secured a first class American service which will furnish his films of an up-to-date and interesting character and he expects to make the Globe second to none in the state.
