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.
