I can confirm that the State Theater was operating as a movie theater into the early 80’s. The last movie that I remember seeing there was Friday the 13th. That was not released until late 1980 if I’m not mistaken.
The theater was converted into a Church in the mid-80’s.
I remember thinking that if I had been able to choose which theater to remodel (State or Capitol) I would have chosen the State. I remember the State being a much more beautiful theater than the Capitol. That may just be my memory playing tricks on me though.
