This theatre should be listed as closed/demolished in the header, the building is no longer there.

Another highlight of the State Theatre history was that on the scheduled Christmas opening day the St. Louis area was hit with one of its worse snow storms. It didn’t put a dent in the number of people that showed up for the opening though as hundreds were turned away because each show was sold out. The management even placed and apology ad in the alton Telegraph the next day.
