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.

Film, Album 1 Year Old
Salt Lake Tribune, 22 March 1966, page 7
Wednesday will be the birthday of "Sound of Music," marking a year of continuous run of the film at Utah Theatre in Salt Lake City. And just as successful as the film has been the original sound track album, largest selling album ever released by RCA, according to Ross J. Davis, Intermountain RCA manager.
Mr. Davis was distributing mammoth birthday cakes Monday to promotion outlets in celebration of the event.
"More than 35,000 of the albums have been sold in the Intermountain Area alone," he said. "Worldwide sales reached a pace of a million a month during last November and December."
