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 to be Reopened
Former 'Rex' Will Be Used For Screening of Silent Features
Ogden Standard Examiner, 29 September 1929, page 16
Remodeling of the Cozy theatre at 225 Twenty-fifth street has been started by Stanley B. Steck, the playhouse to be ready for occupancy in about a week.
Manager Steck announced that the Lyceum theatre will be used exclusively for talking picture features and the Cozy, formerly the Rex, is to be opened for presentation of silent pictures. Several thousand dollars will be expended in the remodeling and redecorating of the Cozy, a number of workmen being already engaged on this work.
