I am trying to verify the information given here that connects John Eberson with the design of Springfield’s State Theatre. If someone could let me know where this information came from it woul be greatly apprecaited. I am currently working with a foundation trying to save the State, so any help would be greatly apprecaited!

Thanks!

I went to Wittenburg in the late 70’s. I think the balcony was enclosed and used as Chakeres' corporate offices.

The best feature of the State was a built-in pipe organ. I remember in the 1980s frequently there would be a 15 minute organ concert before the feature on Friday and Staurday nights. One show I saw, the organist invited us to sing along to the last song and then launched into the Mickey Mouse Club theme song.
