Oracle Theatre
Ogden, Utah
Following the success of the New Electric Theatre, Charles Ziemer, H. A. Sims, and Albert Scowcroft opened Oracle Theatre on Washington Avenue. Stanley B. Steck acquired the Oracle in April 1917 and changed the name to Cozy Theatre. Harmon Peery of the Ogden Theatre Company took over management when Steck sold the business in 1923. A few days later, A. M. Miller purchased the building and announced plans to replace the theater with a modern store once the lease expired. Two years later, theater was “made vacant” and a remodeling permit was issued.

Bought the Princess
Carbon County News, 5 June 1913, page 6
Messrs. E. C. and G. F. Durkee, brothers, from Provo, have purchased the Princess Theater, located in the Short building, and are now in charge of this popular playhouse. Since taking charge, they have spent considerable money improving the place, having put in a reactifier that steadies the light for the pictures and makes them much easier on the eyes. They are showing the high-class trust pictures and show signs of having come to stay.
