The current building is a karate studio, but looking at the map view I think that building was a successor to the 1912 structure. http://www.movementartscenter.org/
Since I did not take the tour, the church operator was nice enough to let me inside for a look at the interior. Note that the woman in the etching is holding an Oscar. The churcj operator said it was not copyrighted, as that kind of art would not pass unnoticed by the AMPAS today. On the bottom right corner of the etching it says S. Charles Lee architect. http://tinyurl.com/yaoezx8 http://tinyurl.com/ydookeb http://tinyurl.com/y8k5q5a http://tinyurl.com/yaalz3c
The theater can still be seen on the map view, which probably dates back to 2007. The Hampton Inn mentioned on 1/7/08 has now been built on the theater site.
This is from the Daily Capital News in October 1969:
Contracts for demolition of the State Theater building, 315 E. High St., and nine residential structures have been awarded by the Jefferson City Housing Authority. RAMCO Inc. of Jefferson City
was the successful bidder on the theater demolition with a bid of $16,400.
Isn’t this theater demolished? Status still says closed.

I couldn’t get the script at the bottom of the etching at all. I took some interior photos but my bb failed me, so I didn’t post those.
I hope it works out. We don’t have any other place like this in the South Bay.

Status should be closed and function should be church.
