I hope that the fight over political correctness will be lost in favor of historic truth—the old black only entrance is still intact, and ought to be preserved.
I loved the State. I saw many films there when I was younger. Every Which Way But Loose, The Cannonball Run, Halloween 2, My Bodyguard…more than I can recall. The State in its latter days closed off the balcony and added a second screen. Sometimes you could show up on a weeknight and have the place to yourself. I thought of it as my private theater. We actually got a better variety of films back when the State and 4th Street Theaters were all we had because the State would get in smaller films and b movies—the sort of thing that play Art Theaters in bigger cities. It was run down and dirty, but it was old and good, too, like the evil twin of the magnificent 4th Street Theater a block away. I miss the old theaters terribly. It wasn’t a fair trade for the massively inferior, characterless, and chintzy Five and Drive.
