Chuck, a link to an article from the Burlington Times-News is attached. http://timesnews125.com/history/19390307.php I believe Andrews Street no longer exists. The State is where I saw “The Truth About Spring” with Hayley Mills, and “Shenandoah”, which made me cry. I think I was eight.

I remember going to movies here while I was a student at Elon College in the late 1960s.
