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.

Moral pollution kept at bay
Deseret News, 15 September 1999, page A12
We recently saw the movie "The Winslow Boy" at the Avalon Theater. We thoroughly enjoyed the movie. We found the story compelling and the acting believable. We also observed nothing objectionable in the movie, which can be said about very few movies today.
We wish to thank the Avalon Theater for providing movies that are entertaining without the moral pollution that infests most of the entertainment media.
