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.”

Better Moving Pictures
Carbon County News, 24 June 1910, page 8
Mr. Prows, who will conduct the moving picture show in the Town Hall Saturday comes to us highly recommended from Emery county where has been showing during the past two years. Every town he has visited lately has proven a success for the people and for himself. He guarantees a good show. The Spanish Bull Fight, which he will give among the lot of scenes is one, he says, has never failed to give the audience pleasure.
