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.

Gem Theatre Adds Many New Fixtures
Garfield County News, 21 June 1935
The Gem Theatre during the past two weeks has again made more changes in the interior and exterior of the building that are both decorative and useful.
The front of the building has been remodeled and the lobby and aisles have been covered with a heavy felt covering. These new improvements that have been made during the past few months makes the Gem Theatre one of the best moving picture theatres in southern Utah.
