Current street view shows the entryway altered with brick to cover the original entryway and flush with the upper facade.
The round window on the second level has also been bricked over.
Per Jim Weinzatl:
In 1927 Roy Smith started the State Theatre at 812 Superior which ran until 1936 when it became once again the Tomah Theatre, it ran until 1955.
The building was originally a horse stable.
I added the color night time shot to the Photos section, in case the link goes dead. The second film on the marquee “Sword Of The Avenger” was released in June `48.
Also here is another link with some additional history, but the embedded link with it’s images is dead within.
However if you click ALL in the right hand column, the images will appear.

When the Omnimax Theater at Caesars Palace opened in 1979 it was a transport into sight and sound. Located on the north side of the property it almost looked like a huge golf ball. The Omnimax featured laid back seating with surround sound and an overhead screen encompassing the entire range of vision. Plagued from the beginning with leaks in the screen it still lasted nearly 21 years closing in 2000.
