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.

Rapid progress is being made in pushing the many building projects of the summer in Salt Lake. Excavation for the foundations of the McIntyre-McCornick block, a $300,000 structure, and the new Auerbach theatre, to cost $150,000, is well under way, and the old buildings have been torn down on the Salisbury property on lower Main street for the new seven-story building which is to be erected.
