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.

Mel Thorley Returns to Manage Theatres
Iron County Record, 9 May 1940, page 1
Mel Thorley, who has been living in California for the past several months, has returned to Cedar City, and has again taken over the management of the Parks and Avalon theatres, a position he left to move to the coast.
Deck Roberts, who has managed the theatres during Mr. Thorley's absence, will be transferred to Ephraim, leaving for his new position early next week.
Mel announces that Mrs. Thorley will probably not return to Cedar City until some time in June.
