Boxoffice, Dec. 8, 1956: “The Del Puerto, formerly the Patterson in Patterson, has installed CinemaScope. In addition, the front and boxoffice have been remodeled, the interior has been refurnished and the new name has gone up on the marquee. Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Fink purchased the theatre from Richard Bear in 1932.”

BTW, Vada Pink’s 1981 obituary in the Modesto Bee mentioned that the E stood for Elmer. “She began a free Christmas show and party for children in 1932 and distributed Christmas presents. The Christmas party was continued for nearly 30 years.”
