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.

Yeggs Crack Safe, Escape with $140
Salt Lake Telegram, 31 May 1952, page 9
Hardworking safe crackers obtained approximately $140 from a safe at the Camark Theater, 2759 S. State, between midnight and 8 a.m. Saturday.
Forcing open a door which leads to the boiler room, the yeggs then chiseled through a wall leading into the theater. They gained access to the office and pushed the 500-Ib. safe into the theater where they knocked off the dial and stole Friday's receipts.
