The State Theatre opened on May 1, 1930 with Olive Borden in “Hello Sister.“ Harlon O. Jones architectural drawings show a Spanish Renaissance architectural style that was matched by the interior furnishings selected by Fischer & Jiroch of Cleveland.

The State closed permanently at the expiry of its 20 year leasing agreement with Maureen O'Hara in “A Woman’s Secret” on July 6, 1949. All of the employees were moved to the Galion Theatre which opened the next night.
