A postcard view of Waterloo, NY c. 1941 that shows the State Theater next to a pharmacy can be seen here.
The State Theatre opened its doors as the Star Theatre on September 14, 1928 with Jack Mulhall in “Smile, Brother, Smile” (unknown if extras added). It was the second movie theater in Waterloo to operate under the Star name. The first Star Theatre closed in 1925 when it was converted into a bank. Waterloo also had two other movie theaters, which were the Wright Theatre and the Victory Theatre.
The Star Theatre was renamed the State Theatre one month after opening in October 1928. It was closed in 1959 and everything in the theater went in auction in June 1961. It was converted into a liquor store afterward.
