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.”

Alhambra Theater Will be Ready to Open Dec. 1
Ogden Standard Examiner, 27 July 1914, page 10
Progress is being made on the basement of the Alhambra theater building on Hudson avenue, between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth streets, and the concrete walls are nearly completed. Albert Scowcroft, of the theater company, states that the building will be completed and ready for use by the first of December if there are no unexpected delays in getting material from the east.
The pipe organ is the only eastern shipment that there is a possibility of being delayed but the company has been assured that the instrument will be read for installation when the building is completed.
