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.

Empty Cinedome 70 ponders an 'offer' it can't refuse
Ogden Standard Examiner, 6 May 2010
Article Summary:
Larry H. Miller Group wants to build a new Chrysler dealership on the site of the Cinedome 70 in Riverdale, which probably means demolition of the former theater.
After the Cinedome closed, local filmmaker Isaac Goeckeritz put sayings from old films on the theater's marquee. Isaac intended his last message, a year ago, to be the one where he asked his girlfriend to marry him. But after the car dearship plans were revealed, he put up his final message: "Thank you Cinedome 70 and Tullis family for 30 years of movie memories. Live long and prosper. May The Force be with you."
