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.

Salt Lake's new Symphony Hall immediately became a cultural center for the city when it was opened to the public for tours. People inside the building and on the grounds attested to the potential for the hall's use. The gala opening concert of the Utah Symphony in its new home will be telecast in the Wasatch Front area from Provo to Ogden on KSTU-TV, channel 20. The 8 p.m. Friday performance also will be simulcast by Radio KUER-FM. Stanislaw Skrowaczeski will direct the symphony in its first-ever concert in the hall, which has already won praise for accoustics and aesthetics.
