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.

[Closed for Two Weeks, Possibly Longer]
(Theater), 17 March 2020
Dear Utah Theatre patrons and fans. Due to changing circumstances and updated recommendations from state and local officials, the Utah Theatre will be closed for the next two weeks and possibly longer. In the meantime, our $40 Punch Passes are still available online at https://boxoffice.diamondticketing.com/utahtheatre/events for when the theatre opens again in the (hopefully) near future. Punch Passes never expire and are good for up to 10 films. You can also share your punches with family and friends.
We appreciate all your love and support and look forward to sharing classic films with you again soon. Be healthy and safe out there!
