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.

Big Branch House for Beaver
Beaver City Press, 28 February 1913, page 1
Arrangements have been completed between John F. Jones of Beaver and Consolidated Wagon and Machine Company of Salt Lake City for the latter to install a Branch House in Beaver. These people have leased the Jones Hall and will put in a big stock of Hardware Implements and Machinery and the business will be owned and controlled by them. They have selected Mr. Ennes Jones as manager of the concern, and it is expected that they will do a big business to this line.
