Thanks for the Case link, but it always disappoints me when I see the marquee changed over the years from the original one.

I have some interior and exterior pictures of the STATE. Ill dig them out and scan them in. They were taken in 1998.

What a wonderful atmospheric theatre in Kalamazoo MI so I sure hope the folks of Kalamazoo appreciate what they have there! I know I would be very appreciative! Wonder if they give tours? If not, they certainly should!

Thanks as I’d take 1966, but the truth of the matter is that the numbers are 1.9.4.6. Will take the flash tour now!

lostmemory: Yes, July is the month and the 14th is the date, but NOT the year….would you believe 1946? Which ‘related website link above’ as I’m very anxious to “Take the Flash Tour”?

Too bad the fine folks of Kalamazoo who worked on their theatre can’t head to Flint and work on that city’s Eberson/atmospheric theatre, the Capitol!
