The University Theatre replaced a silent-era University Theatre that dated back to at least 1918 in Norman. This venue was launched by Griffith Amusements in December of 1930.

This is what the former University Theatre looks like these days (Art Deco bldg with striped awning, between Norman Convention & Marquis),

As seen on google maps street view, the University Theatre still stands on the North side of E. Main St, just West of Crawford St. Purpose built as a movie house, there never was a stagehouse. Since (at least) 1969 the building has been used for retail space, but other than that the exterior still looks pretty much the same, a handsome brown brick facade with tan Art Deco accents.
