By the way, when I was done at the Saturday Matinee I would walk down the alley beside the Theatre and walk home “Cutting Lots” behind that Theatre is a piece of very old Jewett City History… the Old Cemetery is back there… Take a look… Those are founders..

I saw “Fall of The House of The Ushers, playing with The Brides of Dracula in the late 1960’s at the State…. The Absent Minded Professor, Munsters Go Home, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, all memories of youth at the State Theatre…
Triangle Corp. "Plastic Wire&Cable "then located In Jewett City held their Employees Children’s Christmas Party at The State also, every year, Gifts Galore, Denny McClean Baseball Game, with the magnetic ball and rubber mounted bat…. But then The Mobsters from Rhode Island bought it… they showed XXX Movies there instead of acceptable films.. Limosines from out of State lined up along the street of such a small town like that … How stupid they were… Watching THAT ? Heck, Stay Home and DO THAT ! The State Theatre was a place where townspeople met, chatted out front while waiting for the ticket window to open… socializing the community way.. sometimes it seemed the whole town was seated in there… Of course then those Mobsters had to be stupid… and change Jewett City forever… Shame…. But the memories are delicious……..
