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.

Opera House Improvements
Box Elder News, 4 October 1906, page 6
The Opera House management is with commendable enterprise having the Brigham play house renovated and painted. Messrs. Nichols and Jorgensen have the contract and they are doing a good job. The interior has already been given a neat coat of paint, the decorative work on the front of the balcony being especially fine. The outside woodwork is being given a much needed covering of paint, while the walls are looking clean and attractive by a coat of tinted calcimine. The Opera House has always been one of Brigham's creditable attractions, and it is gratifying to see that the present management is keeping it in up-to-date neatness and order.
