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.

Utah Theatre Cuts Admission Prices
Ogden Standard Examiner, 29 January 1923, page 6
Lower prices were put in effect at the Utah theatre last night by Manager H. W. Perry, in his announcement of the reduction of the admission price to 10 cents. In making the change in the price of admission to the theatre, Manager Perry said wages have been reduced materially and there had been little reduction in living costs, consequently, he said, the people were entitled to a reduction in the expenses of recreation. There will be no change in the class of pictures which the theatre will present, he said.
