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 Outing
Utah Shut-ins To View Bible Movie
Salt Lake Tribune, 20 September 1965, page 12
Thursday and Friday will be days out for shut-ins from throughout northern Utah.
The big outing will be a special showing of "The Greatest Story Ever Told" at the Villa Theatre.
Some 2,000 shut-ins from Ogden, Salt Lake City, American Fork and Provo will see the Cinerama production during the two shows.
The special screening of the movie is an annual event for shut-ins presented by Fox-Intermountian Theaters, Villa Theatre, Cinerama Inc., and The Salt Lake Tribune.
In addition, The Salt Lake Kiwanis Club provides transportation for Salt Lake area guests.
The showing annually gives shut-ins from day care centers, children's hospitals, hospitals and nursing homes in the area an opportunity to see cinerama productions that they would not do otherwise.
