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.

Cozy Theatre Now Open
Ogden Standard Examiner, 10 May 1917, page 4
Today the Oracle theatre re-opened under the name of “Cozy,” and the playhouse is indeed entitled to the name. The place has been thoroughly gone over by painters, decorators and finishers of the best type until the entire house has been made a veritable cozy theatrical home.
Manager S. B. Steck has spared no means or pains in decorating the front of the building. He has placed new velvet portieres and hangings in the building and brussels carpets have been laid. The Cozy opened today with an attractive program and Mr. Steck states that the usual high standard of performances will be given at all times.
