The Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival sold this building to a developer in 2013 and is no longer using it as a venue. The Blade Magic show also moved out that year to a storefront operation further down Central Ave. It would be safe to say status is “closed.”
Now known as Schubert’s Luxury Ten Theatre. Under new ownership by the Schubert family as of June 2014.

With Marcus opening the Palace in Sun Prairie and upgrading the nearby Point, this multiplex seems to be struggling. Was here for a matinee last week and was the only person in the auditorium. They are holding onto movies longer and also showing a mix of indie and Bollywood films. Never a good sign.
Went here last night. There are leather recliners in all the auditoriums now, making for a comfortable experience. Major remodeling is going on with the addition of more food and beverage options. The restrooms could use a little more work as well.
Actually, it would be a much shorter drive to Sault Ste Marie ON or Mackinaw City for Newberry residents to see a first run movie.

Facebook page is down, and no listing on the Chamber of Commerce site either. Seems to be closed.

Just added a photo of the auditorium renovation.
Work has started to rebuild the State into a 10-screen multiplex scheduled to open in 2016. Copy and paste the following link to read the story:

That proposed craft brewery wound up over at 444 N Michigan.
Now closed. Story here: http://wnep.com/2014/12/30/scranton-movie-theater-going-dark/
The movie listed on the marquee was released in 1963, so the photo would have been taken at a later date than 1950.
Now operated by Earlann Theaters: Website: http://www.earlann.net/ According to the website, this theater is closed for renovations.
Phone not working and no movie times listed anywhere. Also, the June 2014 Google Street View shows the theatre for sale. Probably closed.

The marquee of this theatre shows up in the new “SPONGEBOB” movie.
The Gorilla Tango website only shows listings for the Chicago space.
The theatre will close June 15, 2015 for restoration and reopen in February 2016.
In the 50’s and 60’s, the burlesque houses in downtown Chicago ran movies between live shows. Actually, a pretty common practice in most cities.
The latest Facebook post by the theatre indicates no movies scheduled for a while. Doesn’t sound very promising .
The front of this theater shows up in the 2010 comedy horror film, “Vampires Suck.”
