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.”

Odeon Theater Under New Management
Ogden Standard Examiner, 21 November 1908, page 5
Higginbotham and Platt are now in possession of the Odeon theater on Twenty-fourth street and are having the house thoroughly renovated preparatory to opening the same Saturday evening. The cloth screen has been removed and a fine plaster wall will be installed, upon which the pictures will appear to much better effect. The Cameraphone used by the De Mott management proved a failure as an attraction and straight pictures and illustrated songs will be run in the house henceforth. Excellent film service has been secured and an interesting and instructive program is guaranteed to patrons.
