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.”

Around and About: A frantic lemon-pie lover screams that no Utah champion lemon-pie baker should be crowned until Mrs. Casey Bown, wife of the fish and game man, is considered. “Mrs. Bown's lemon pies are the best in the west,” the lemon-pie lover says, “and I resent your crowning Mrs. M. A. Siouris as Utah lemon-pie champion without considering Mrs. Bown. Why?” . . . (Well, I've tasted Mrs. Siouris' lemon pie, and I ain't tasted Mrs. Bown's lemon pie, but I'm willing to reopen the competition if Mrs. Bown is willing to donate a lemon pie for judging – and I'm the sole judge!) . . .
