Although the least opulent of the three Journal Square theaters in the 60s/70s, I had two of my first film epiphanies here: my parents took my sister and I to see “Mary Poppins” at the State in ‘64—one of the first movies I vividly recall seeing. In Feb '70, I saw “Funny Girl” here and forever will remember that experience — and my life long love affair with Streisand. I will never forget seeing Barbra’s finale on the State’s wide screen — that close-up as she launched in the ultimate torch song, “My Man.”
