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.”

Businesses struggle with loss of student workers as school begins
Tooele Transcript-Bulletin, 17 August 2007
Article Summary:
Local businesses will be hit hard as teens and college students leave their summer jobs to go back to school. The Tooele Cinema 6 theaters will lose so many workers and patrons that its operating schedule will be forced to change in September. The theater will open at 4 PM on weekdays instead of noon.
"It can be hard to deal with when kids leave, but school does come first and you just have to work around it," said Gary Lund, Cinema 6 general manager.
