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.”

Theives Rob Thorley Theatre
Iron County Record, 3 July 1935, page 4
Two burglaries were committed during the week, the Bob Arthur Pool Hall and Thorley Theatre being broken into.
The burglars entered the pool hall Saturday night, breaking through a back window, but were unsuccessful in locating any money, Mr. Arthur suffering no loss.
Monday night they entered the theatre, picking three locks to get in. This time the thieves escaped with $28 in cash.
The officers are working on several clues but to date no arrests have been made.
