The Ignacio Chieftain, Jan. 28, 1955: “The Ute Theatre opening date is set for February 4, states Sam English, new leasee of the showhouse. … Mr. English and assistants have been busy since leasing the Ute Theatre a short time ago … from Everett Preston who gave up the movie business when he got the contract for the milk haul to Farmington.”

According to a later note, the Ute actually reopened on Saturday, April 9, 1955, one day before the Grand Opening of the Buckskin Drive-In in town.
