The December 25, 1926 issue of Exhibitors Herald had a list of theater managers who had participated in a survey determining the top moneymaking movies of 1926. C. L. Guillaume of the State Theatre, Elk Point, was among them.
Elk Grove High School’s 1961 yearbook said that a free forenoon show presented by the State Theatre had been among that year’s Homecoming events (homecoming being football-related, the event would have been held in the fall of 1960.)
The address is wrong, and this has been demolished. It was never a True Value. The distinctive Odd Fellows building makes it easy to place. It was at 103 E Main. Judging from the dumpy little building on the corner today, this was probably demolished by the early ‘80s. The building in the photo seems to have replaced a general store on the 1917 map.
The State Theatre was located at 118 E. Main St.
