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.

Fred Hayter, manager of the Lyceum theater, has engaged Seldy Roach, the popular actor, and his Empire stock company, for an indefinite run at the Lyceum, commencing Monday night, October 7.
Mr. Roach has secured for his leading lady Miss Ada Daniels, who was seen here two years ago in “The Flower of the Ranch,” in which she played the leading role and made a tremendously big hit. The same play has been selected for the opening of the Lyceum.
Miss Daniels will be supported by Mr. Roy Walling as leading man, Miss Dorothea Meeks, Sedly Roach and a company of first-class actors.
The work on the Lyceum building is rapidly drawing to an end and everything will be ready for the opening next Monday night.
