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.

Remodeled Thorley Theatre Opened Sunday
Iron County Record, 12 September 1935, page 4
The Thorley Theatre reopened Sunday after having been closed for two weeks for remodeling and redecoration. The extensive remodeling program is not yet completed, but has been completed to a point where the show can continue to run.
The front of the show house, the entrance and foyer, has been completely changed making it much more attractive and convenient, and the interior has been redecorated and relighted, giving a beautiful effect.
New seats have been ordered and will replace the old ones in the near future.
The program is costing approximately $8,000 and when completed will make the show house the equal to any in the state, outside of the larger centers.
