A correction and two updates to Peery’s Egyptian (Ogden UT) history, which I wrote:

First 3-D picture played at the Egyptian “JUNE 18, 1953. Just FOUR months later…” The Sundance Film Festival ended Peery’s Egyptian and Ogden UT as a venue 2016 In 2004 a replacement 22-voice Mighty Wurlitzer debuted at the Egyptian. In 2014 a major enhancement to the instrument added 21 voices for a total now of 43. —Van Summerill

The Admiral Theatre in Clearfield was renamed Ideal Theatre in, I believe, the 1960s or 1970s.

The Mt. Ogden Drive-In Theatre was actually located on the east side of Wall Ave., across the street from what is now the Newgate Mall. As I recall, one—if not the major—reason the Stephens' moved the theatre was because Sears built their new Ogden store where the Mall is now located, and the parking lot lights interfered with the projected image on the screen. The Mt. Ogden Drive-In was replaced with a K-Mart, and presently with a Costco. —Van Summerill
