Oracle Theatre
Ogden, Utah
Following the success of the New Electric Theatre, Charles Ziemer, H. A. Sims, and Albert Scowcroft opened Oracle Theatre on Washington Avenue. Stanley B. Steck acquired the Oracle in April 1917 and changed the name to Cozy Theatre. Harmon Peery of the Ogden Theatre Company took over management when Steck sold the business in 1923. A few days later, A. M. Miller purchased the building and announced plans to replace the theater with a modern store once the lease expired. Two years later, theater was “made vacant” and a remodeling permit was issued.

After many a season dies the swan, the poet says, but the Seagull Theater in Salt Lake City lasted just one season.
Richard K. Folsom, who founded the theater last September, said he has been forced to close down after producing 10 plays ranging from romantic comedy to serious drama.
He said actors and others involved in the effort plan to reorganize as a nonprofit repertory theater.
