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.

Enforce school alcohol ban, state urges
Deseret News, 8 November 1997, page B1
Article Summary:
The state school board wants the Utah Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission to reject a proposal by the Eccles Performing Arts Center to serve alcoholic beverages when it hosts non-school day civic events in an auditorium it shares with Park City High School. Art center officials believe they should be able to serve alcoholic beverages to adults attending performances, art exhibits, or special events such as the Sundance Film Festival. Eccles Art Center officials had envisioned seeking short-term permits for such functions.
