This was the towns' first State Theatre. It was opened by 1933 and in later years was operated by Tri-State Theaters. It was closed on August 18, 1947 when Tri-State Theaters opened their new State Theater the following day. (which has its own page on Cinema Treasures).

The former Brent Theatre closed and moved its equipment here to the State Theatre launching April 1, 1933 with “Sign of the Cross.” It had Spanish-themed architectural style though had contemporary features including a neon-lit lobby. It was a retrofitting of the Frank Yawitz Building The original State would close November 29, 1941 with “The Lady from Louisiana.” It may have reopened without advertising but after the War, a new State Theatre was opened on August 19, 1947.
