When this theatre opened it was known as the Riverside Theatre.
Advertised as the Elysian on 1/22/50.

A Southern Yankee with Red Skelton was released in August of 1948.
The Elysian was called the Studio Theater Playhouse in 1966, according to this LA Times item from February of that year:
For those who take stock in popular revivals, there’s “A Thousand Clowns†continuing at the Studio Theater Playhouse, 1944 Riverside Drive. David Ridenour directs this version of Herb Gardner’s comedy lunge at the television industry.
Now a 99 seat Equity Waiver theatre.
On 11/4 caught a fabulous pocket version of the musical “Sweet Charity”. My ticket was only $7 on Goldstar. It is not unusual for me to pay less to see a great live play than a movie.
