Roosevelt Twin Theatre
Roosevelt, Utah
George H. Harrison and R. Howard Harrison opened the $40,000 Roosevelt Theatre on Valentine's Day, 14 February 1942, with Shirley Temple in Kathleen. The “modern up-to-the minute motion picture theatre” was described as “new, beautiful, and elaborately equipped.” The interior color scheme was peach, green, and beige, with red velour curtains and drapes. The 500 seats in the auditorium were “arranged on a slight arc so that every seat directly faces the screen.” The stage was large and had floodlights, so the theater could “accommodate many types of entertainment” and serve as “a community playhouse as well as a motion picture theatre.”

Millard County Progress, 26 February 1926, page 3
Washington's birthday was fittingly observed by our school Monday afternoon. An interesting program was given by the students in connection with the wonderful 12 reel picture “America” at the Anona Theatre in the afternoon. Mr. McKee repeated the show in the evening also Tuesday evening. America is one of the most wonderful plays that has ever been given to the public and every true American gets a thrill as he sees the characters of our colonial and Revolutionary period living again on the screen. It is of great value to all students as well as to older people.
