Located directly across the street from the State Theatre. The Vale Theatre was opened in 1921. Renamed Ohio Theatre in 1932, it was listed as (Closed) in 1933-1934. It had reopened by 1935 and operated through the 1960’s. Appears to still be standing with a bricked over facade.

The “New Motion Picture Theatres Planned” column of The Moving Picture World for July 3, 1920, had this item:

“UHRICHSVILLE, O.— C. S. Valo has plans by Arnold & Lewis, New Philadelphia, O., for two-story brick and concrete moving picture theatre, 60 by 100 feet, to cost $35,000.”
I’ve been unable to find out if the name “C. S. Valo” might have been a typo, but as it is so close to Vale it does seem a possibility. The only mention of the Vale Theatre itself I’ve found is in a 1925 newspaper article, in which it is mentioned only in passing. It would be quite a coincidence if someone named Valo had a theater built in Uhrichsville in 1920 and a few years later there was a theater there called the Vale, and there wasn’t a connection between them.
