Friday | 22 September 1967 | North American Indian Unity Caravan (discussion session), Ron Thelin (films) | Around noon the theater was made available to Indians in the North American Indian Unity Caravan. They discussed their religion, prophecies, life plan, or whatever else they wanted to talk about and answered questions. May well have been some chanting. |
Saturday | 23 September 1967 | Movies | Starting at noon, movies by McDuck were shown for 25c entry. McDuck was "a non-profit visual organ for the Haight Ashbury and Fillmore District." Movies included "The Deerslayer," and a Laurel and Hardy flick, Putting Pants on Phillip, plus cartoons. Kenneth Anger's home is broken in to and movie equipment stolen. |
Sunday | 24 September 1967 | Max Hartstein's Twenty Fifth Century Ensemble, Malachi | At 6 pm the Twenty Fifth Century Ensemble, a seven or eight piece orchestra, made its debut in a show – led by Max Hartstein and in support of Malachi Price: $1.50.

Monday | 02 October 1967 | Poetry with Lenore Kandel | Grateful Dead house at 710 Ashbury and Blue Cheer House at 369 Haight Street are busted. It is suggested this was in revenge for the Dead playing the Dance Class at the Straight to by-pass the ruling that forbade the Straight holding dances. |

Friday | 22 November 1968 | Movies: Magical Mystery Tour, Commision Exhibit 885 | Barbara Flaska: I was in the theater during the November 1968 show, is there was also an "underground" film shown, which was an early black and white version of the stills from Zapruder films, mixed with other black and white photos of the assassination, entitled I believe Commission Exhibit 885. I recall seeing one woman scream and flee from the theater as she was expecting the happy Beatles experience to continue on. |
