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 Looks Better
Box Elder News, 24 April 1913, page 6
Now that the improvements on the front of the Opera House are completed, the play house looks ever so much better. The front is really an artistic addition and dresses the otherwise somber building off in a way that gives to it a chic and natty appearance. When Mgr. Koford gets his lights arranged and in place the front will be a blaze of light and the spacious portico will give it a more inviting appearance.
Amos Larsen has done some classy decorating on the walls which adds to the attractiveness of the place. The improvements are well worth the money in looks alone
