Here is an ad from 1973 when UA proudly hailed the Quartet as the east coasts only quad cinema. Look at the eclectic selection of films playing, from GWTW to Fritz The Cat

In 1961 “Picnic” was re-released here with a second feature called “Twinkle & Shine”. In small letters it says formely knows as “It Happened to Jane”. They must have returned it to it’s original title later on because I once saw it at the Thalia in the 70’s that way.
