As it says above, The Golden State Cinema was originally The Loring Opera House. Many great stars appeared at the Golden State in it’s heyday. Sarah Bernhart gave several apperances here on her US tours. The last reigning King of Hawaii, King Kameyameya was guest at the Loring on Opening night. The Golden State had a lovely but neglected interior, very Beauxs Arts, much like the large European Opera Houses of the 19th Century. The locals affectionately refered to the Golden State as the “Flea Pit”. I spent many hours in the Golden State Cinema as a child. I was watching the film “Cinema Paradiso” the night before the Golden State burned to the grown, how fitting for such a demise. Sadly Missed!
