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.”

Discontinues Running Advertisements
Iron County Record, 2 March 1923, page 1
Allredge Thorley, manager of the Thorley theatre, has discontinued the running of advertisements on the screen between the reels while the show is in operation.
Mr. Thorley has found that the flashing of advertisements on the screen detracts unpleasantly the attention and interest of the patrons in the story being portrayed, and has a consequence has discontinued the practice.
Mr. Thorley is to be complemented on making it possible for his patrons to thoroughly enjoy the very excellent line of motion picture plays he is giving.
