There are references in various issues of The Scranton Republican to a house called the Period Theatre operating at 1347 or 1349 N. Main Avenue. The earliest I’ve found is from March 6, 1918, and the latest from January 8, 1931. There is a reference to a movie house being in operation in the Bull’s Head district of Scranton in 1917, but the theater’s name was not mentioned.
I’ve also found references to the Lackawanna Central Model Railroad Club having a train display in the old Bull’s Head Theatre in 1972, so the building was still standing at that time.
The Convenient Food Mart at the southwest corner of Main Avenue and Wood Street uses the address 1347 N. Main, so that must be where the Bull’s Head Theatre was located.
