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.

Big Benefit at the Ogden Theater
Ogden Standard Examiner, 13 September 1912, page 5
A big benefit performance will be given tonight at the Ogden theater, the proceeds to be given to the members of the Lyceum Stock company, who suffered by the theater fire of last Tuesday.
There is to be a double program presented, the Lyceum company showing “A Celebrated Case,” a drama, in addition to the regular vaudeville bill. This play is a five-act affair in which the company is especially proficient.
It is anticipated that there will be an unusually large crowd in attendance and that the unfortunate Lyceum company will profit accordingly.
