The Dreamland Theatre opened at the Harrison building as a relocation from a previous location on October 13, 1910. Commonwealth Theatres took over the Dreamland in July 1935. The Dreamland once turned into a nightmare after it suffered arson fire damage on the early morning hours of July 12, 1956 caused by a 17-year-old boy.
It reopened right afterward but had a short closure on June 1, 1968. It reopened on October 25, 1968, and was last managed by the husband-and-wife team of Mr. and Mrs. E.E. Duncan before closing for the final time on May 23, 1970 with “Journey To The Far Side Of The Sun” and “Coogan’s Bluff”.
