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.

Article Summary:
The University Mall Cinemas, the former Cineplex Odeon 4-screen theater at University Mall in Orem, was reopened on 4 April 2003 as a dollar theater. "Dollar movies are popular in Utah County because it is home to large families and poor college students, says Don Clifton, owner of University Mall Cinemas. He is confident his discount four-plex can co-exist with the immensely popular Movies 8, which is just a few miles away."
