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.

Talkie a Success
Garfield County News, 14 February 1930, page 1
The first talking picture ever played in Panguitch was shown to a packed house Saturday February 18, by 0. E. McIff at the Hub Theatre. The talkie is a success in every sense of the word, having a clear, loud tone which pleases everyone who has heard it.
Those who have heard the talkies in the larger theatres say that the one installed by Mr. McIff is as good as any of them. The theatre-going public of Panguitch are very fortunate in having the opportunity of hearing such a splendid talkie in a city of this size.
Mr. McIff has many fine shows booked for the future, and we sincerely hope that they receive the patronage they justly deserve.
Read Mr. McIff's ad in another part of this paper and see what he has to offer in the way of coming attractions.
