This opened as the Rialto Theatre on April 10, 1936 with Mae West in “Klondike Annie” along with an unnamed comedy, featuring installations of RCA Photophone High Fidelity sound. It was renamed the State Theatre on June 24, 1939. It most likely closed in March 1948 when the Wakea Theatre opened nearby.

There’s not a lot of info that I can find about the Highland, meaning that its completely unknown if the Highland continued operating after the launch of the Ramon.
