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.

New Joseph Smith Movie Ready to Open
KSL News, 16 December 2005
Article Summary:
A new movie about the life of Joseph Smith is a long-time dream of President Gordon B. Hinckley, who oversaw its production. The film opens 17 December 2011 in the Legacy Theatre and 24 December 2005 “in all of the visitors' centers and church historic sites around the country.”
“President Hinckley had been dreaming about this project for about 20 years, so for us to try to meet his expectations was, first of all, very difficult.” (T.C. Christensen, Co-director & Cinematographer)
