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.

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.”
