Roosevelt Twin Theatre
Roosevelt, Utah
George H. Harrison and R. Howard Harrison opened the $40,000 Roosevelt Theatre on Valentine's Day, 14 February 1942, with Shirley Temple in Kathleen. The “modern up-to-the minute motion picture theatre” was described as “new, beautiful, and elaborately equipped.” The interior color scheme was peach, green, and beige, with red velour curtains and drapes. The 500 seats in the auditorium were “arranged on a slight arc so that every seat directly faces the screen.” The stage was large and had floodlights, so the theater could “accommodate many types of entertainment” and serve as “a community playhouse as well as a motion picture theatre.”

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.
