How I love these R.C. Maxwell area photographs! Here's an excellent view of E. State Street with the marquees of the Stacy and RKO State theatres in view. Note that my spell checker has questioned the "res" rather than "ers" spelling. The former was in vogue back in the 1930's and I'm staying with it.
HI TOM.....HE STATE THEATRE WAS VERY POPULAR WITH US KIDS CAUSE IT WAS THE ONLY MOVIE HOUSE WITH 3 FLOORS. FOR A DIME WE SAW A STAGE SHOW, OTHER FEATURES AND A FEATURE PICTURE. WE CALLED IT HEAVEN AND THEY EVEN FEATURED LOCAL PEOPLE ON THE STAGE. I RECALL SEEING YOUNG TERRY, A LOCAL PRIZE FIGHTER AND LEWIS MACK IN ONE OF THEIR STAGE PRODUCTIONS. IMAGINE SEEING THEIR SHOW AND LATER HAVING A HOT DOG AND ROOT BEER, ALL FOR 25 CENTS. GOD BLESS THE OLDEN DAYS.
