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.”

New Drive-in to Open Friday Night at Monticello
Times Independent, 27 May 1954, page 1
The Nu-Vu Drive-In theatre at Monticello will open this Friday evening, showinbg “Branded.” This drive-in was promoted and owned by Wallace and E. P. Corbin, E. R. Carter, and Max Dalton.
Monticello is justly proud of the new drive-in and no doubt many of the Moab friends of the backers of this venture will be on hand for the “Grand Opening.” The location is on the mountain road next to the Warner ranger station in Monticello.
