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.”

Two cents

Article Summary:
Cache County, with a population of 85,000, has eight movie theaters. “. . . some problems arise when small children are allowed in movie theaters. Many patrons complain that crying children or babies disturb the movie for the entire theater. Most theaters have policies against allowing babies in, but the rules are rarely enforced. The Herald Journal asked five movie patrons outside Cinefour Theater in North Logan how they felt about babies in movie theaters.”
