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.”

Deseret News, 18 November 1992, page B1
Article Summary:
The Davis Drive-In was demolished in November 1992 to make way for new
development on the 23-arce site. There was no specific plan for the
site, but developers wanted to clear the land to make it more
attractive to a potential buyer. "Last summer was the theater's finale
final season."
