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:
Three business owners in downtown Pleasant Grove have created the Historic Pleasant Grove Business Association to revitalize and promote Main Street in the downtown area. Gayliene Omary, owner of the Grove Theatre, is president of the Association.
At the 16 March 2003 City Council meeting, the Association reported that many of the businesses on Main Street are barely covering expenses and that others are not even doing that well. The Association has received over 20 hours of free consulting from Hammonds Strategy Group and has applied for aid from the Utah Historic Main Street Grants program.
