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.

The state board of health Friday asked the Salt Lake county commission to take immediate steps toward correcting a drinking fountain in the Apollo theater, 7605 S. State, which allegedly was installed in violation of the state plumbing code and in “utter disregard for recognized sanitary practices.”
The letter, signed by Lynn M. Thatcher, chief sanitarian, was referred to County Commissioner George W. Morgan, health and charity department.
