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.

Still Open for Regular Shows
(Theater), 20 March 2020
We are still open for regular shows and want to provide a safe, clean environment for you to have an escape for a couple hours. We are regularly disinfecting our seats, counters, door handles and equipment. Our audiences have been limited enough that crowd sizes are not currently a concern, and we have plenty of seating to spread seating out. We do ask that if you are sick, please stay home, and we’ll be thrilled to see you at the movies again when you’re well again.
This week, we’re showing ONWARD, THE CALL OF THE WILD, UNDERWATER, THE INVISIBLE MAN, and IMPRACTICAL JOKERS, and if you need popcorn for that movie at home, we pop our honest to goodness, genuine movie theater popcorn fresh every dang day.
