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.”

Article Summary:
The Casino Star Theatre closed Friday. Efforts to vent the underground gas leak instead boosted the level of toxic fumes in the theater. Although the Utah Department of Environmental Quality had found no evidence the fumes posed and immediate health threat, Lori Nay said, "There's no way we can be open with any good conscience."
