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.

Article Summary:
The “film-cutting” ceremony for the Coral Cliffs Cinema will be held 2 December 2004. The theater is the first in Hurricane since the old Star Theater of years gone by.
Half of the money raised during the matinee viewings will be given to the fire department and the other half will go to Hurricane City for new scoreboards at the softball fields.
Moviegoers during the opening weekend will be greeted personally by the staff. T-shirts, movie passes, and goodies from the concession stand will be given away. On the night of the grand opening a special digital presentation will show the construction of the building from start to finish.
