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.

Miller adds to screens in Utah
At Thanksgiving Point: The entrepreneur buys an 8-screen movie house
Salt Lake Tribune, 12 January 2005
Article Summary:
Starting with Tuesday's showings, the Thanksgiving Point Stadium 8 will become the Megaplex 8 at Thanksgiving Point. Larry H. Miller took over the 1,400-seat theater complex after its former operator, LCA Enterprises LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July.
No major renovations or expansions are planned under Miller's multi-year lease, but some interior work and equipment upgrades will be made.
Thanksgiving Point was opened by Alan Ashton in 1995 and has more than 700 acres of gardens, golfing greens, shops and eateries, conference and banquet rooms, a farmer's market, an animal park, a large pasture, a tree farm, greenhouses and the North American Museum of Ancient Life.
