The Lyceum eventualy became the infamous State Theater famous throughout the fifties and sixties as a live Burlesque house.

“Mike Hanley, six feet tall, and large of frame, always wore a 10 gallon hat as he walked back and forth in front of his movie house, The Majestic… inviting the public to come in and see his pictures. reminding them that it was just 5 or 10 minutes until the next showing began.”

The State opened in 1935 and closed in 1955.

I found a State Theatre located at 406 E. Tuscarawas, could that have been the Lyceum at one time?

This is the first time I have ever read that a theatre was demolished to make way for another theatre!
