Oracle Theatre
Ogden, Utah
Following the success of the New Electric Theatre, Charles Ziemer, H. A. Sims, and Albert Scowcroft opened Oracle Theatre on Washington Avenue. Stanley B. Steck acquired the Oracle in April 1917 and changed the name to Cozy Theatre. Harmon Peery of the Ogden Theatre Company took over management when Steck sold the business in 1923. A few days later, A. M. Miller purchased the building and announced plans to replace the theater with a modern store once the lease expired. Two years later, theater was “made vacant” and a remodeling permit was issued.

Curtain Set to Fall on Davis Drive-In
Deseret News, 10 April 1991, page B4
Article Summary:
The Davis Drive-In opened for business in the spring of 1991, even
though the 41-year-old theater was up for sale. The theater sat on 23
acres of land and was owned by Tony Rudman of Westates Theaters, "who
is selling the site under the belief that it is worth more as prime
commerical property than as a drive-in." The theater could accommodate
800 to 900 cars for each of its two screen. If the drive-in didn't sell
in 1991, it might have opened for the 1992 season.
