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.

Times Independent, 3 March 1955, page 1
The Grand Vu Drive-In changed hands recently with Mr. and Mrs. Howard Lance selling to Clair (Kayo) and Dick Swenson of Salt Lake City.
The new owners, pictured above, are installing a larger (40' x 90') screen for the latest wideview and cinemascope productions. The opening show of the new season is planned for Mar. 10 and will feature a recent Hollywood release. Also additional speakers are being installed to take care of the expected increase in attendance.
