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.

Got an up date from Heather Childs
"The Gem Theater is really taking shape, as well as the ice cream parlor. My husband is currently building a Penny Candy area, for more nostalgia.
"The theatre floors are done and chairs are starting to arrive. The original projector is now in the museum upstairs. The ice cream parlor is coming along. We gave out free soft serve to our Facebook fans that stopped by.
On Facebook, we have pages on there for you to follow the progress up till the Grand Opening on May 28th. http://facebook.com/HistoricGemTheatre http://facebook.com/scoopsfromthepast"
Thanks Heather!!!
