State Theatre, Oklahoma City, Playing 1953’s “The Moon Is Blue”, starring William Holden. State was directly across street from Harber (Cooper) Theatre. Both Theatre’s were demolished in the Mid 70’s as part of Oklahoma City’s Urban Renewal Program. More was lost than gained by the loss of several irreplacaeble theatre’s.

Agree with you there! Except for the Bricktown and the park area, I am not aware of any attaction to downtown since those days. I cannot grasp why people would have preferred shoe box theaters to these great places to enjoy movies. Could there be a comeback to theaters like this showing 35/70 film for people tired of the digital movies shown on unmasked, curtainless blank white screens or their relatively small home screens with no audience to share the experience?
