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.

Anderson & White Buy the Isis Theater
Eastern Utah Advocate, 16 November 1911, page 1
A deal was made the first of the week whereby the Isis moving picture theater, owned by Sturtevant & Robinson, becomes the property of Anderson & White, the proprietors of the Liberty theater. The deal includes the lease on the property formerly occupied by the Isis on Main street, also the furniture and fixtures. The managers of the Liberty will continue the business in their present location in the Short building and will use the same film service that the Isis had.
