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.”

Utah Theater is Being Enlarged
Ogden Standard Examiner, 18 September 1917, page 6
The Utah theater is fast nearing completion and it is thought by Manager A. J. Fyhn that it will be ready to open by Oct. 1. The extensive improvements being made include the lengthening of theater by about 25 feet, complete re-decorating and furnishing and the installation of new upholstered seats and a pipe organ. The materials are here and workmen are busy on the interior, in an effort to get the building ready for occupancy on the date set for the opening.
When completed, the Utah theater will be one of the finest as well as one of the most beautiful motion picture houses in the city.
