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.

Eight-plex Movie Theater Coming to Hurricane
Hurricane Valley Journal, 17 March 2004
Article Summary:
Hurricane City Councilman John Bramell has been working for a couple of years to establish a movie theater in Hurricane so that residents can spend their tax dollars at home rather than drive into St. George.
Hurricane City lined up Interstate Rock Products, Inc. to develop and build the project and Coral Cliffs Entertainment, Inc. to operate the theater. In addition to the movie theater, the project may also include restaurants and a strip mall. All of the principal investors in Coral Cliffs Entertainment are from the southern Utah area.
The theater complex will have eight screens so it can show two or three first-run movies from different distributors, plus occasional regional and national films.
