Jaedenct,
Thanks for the info on the free tours! It’s been a long, long time since I’ve been there and since I’m out of town now, I’d love a tour. Hoping to see a show too, before long.
I saw a photo online of the front of a bygone restaurant 2 doors before this theater. In the photo, the theater’s marquee reads- Loew’s Poli. The film running then was Dragon Seed with Kate Hepburn which came out in 1944.
As a child, several of my dance recitals were at the State. When going to a movie with my father, we often had lunch at the White Tower, almost next door to the State.
I enjoyed movies at the Ville as a child. As a teen, we would go next door to a pizza place after the show. Can’t recall the name. Anyone remember?

I lived directly across the street from it, on the exact spot where the photographer of this photo stood, from birth until 4 years old.
