rivest266 commented about University Theatre on Mar 9, 2011 at 12:16 am

January 1973, listed as Scrump-Dee-Dump-Dee
One of the best names I found for a cinema. like the “Peanut Patch” in Fresno, CA.

Also, I found an ad listed it as P. A. T. (which means Performing Arts Theatre or Porno Adult Theatre)
I will upload the 1973 listings shortly.
