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.”

Article Summary:
Trolly North closed after final showings on 5 September 2002. Westates Theatres, which owned Trolley North, sold the theater to Nine Mile Holdings LLC, which planned to demolish the building and build a Class A office building. According to Tony Rudman, vice president of Westates, Trolley North suffered under the management of Loews Cineplex. "Loews had pretty much destroyed it before they left," Rudman said. "They destroyed the reputation of it." Westates plans to build a new 8-screen, stadium seating theater in the Bountiful area.
