This was in Boxoffice in June 1950:

William Goldman, Philadelphia circuit operator, will take over three Warner Theatre houses in settlement of his antitrust litigation against Warner Brothers and other major distributors. The theatres are the Strand, Pottstown and the Strand and State, Hanover, Pa. The agreement to settle out of court was reached in March and since that time attorneys have been working on details of the settlement.

This Strand On 303 East High Street Temporarily Replaced The Older Strand On 1200 West Girard Avenue, Which Had Been Operating Since September 1, 1905 As The “New O'Hara Theatre” (Opened With A Presentation of “The Maid And The Mummy”) (The “NEW” Name From The Theater’s Name Was Dropped In 1910). The O'Hara Theatre Became The Strand Theatre In May 1920 Until Closing In 1925. The Strand On 303 East High Street Would Then Take Its Turn To Open On August 14, 1925.
