Opened On October 11th, 1912 When It Was The Eagle Theatre. It Changed Its Name To The Orpheum Theatre On June 22nd, 1928. It Became The State Theatre In August 5th, 1930. But On Its First Days Of The State, The Theater Ended Up Closing For A Few Days And Reopened A Week Later After A Splendid Bill. On September 5th, 1930, The State Installed RCA Sound System And Continued Operations Until Closing Once Again In 1945 And Was Reopened 6 Weeks Later In January 1946 After It Sat Empty, And The Manager Who Operated The State, S.T. Traynor Took Over Operations. S.T. Hardly Tried His Best, But Unfortunately It Ended Up Closing Its Doors In Very Late 1946.

50sSNIPES commented about Coquille Valley Cinema on Apr 26, 2020 at 12:19 am

The Liberty Theatre Opened Its Doors Sometime Around The Middle Of 1921 And It Is A Really Popular Theatre For Coquille, They Even Appeared In Coos Bay Newspapers Too. After 10 Years Of The Original Building, The Liberty Was Once Closed And Remodeled In October 1931 And Then Reopened On The 10th. In November 1954 (Months After The Noble Theatre In Coos Bay Closed Its Doors), The Liberty Theatre Installed CInemaScope. The Liberty Was Closed In An Unrecognizable Day Around The Late 1950s Or Early 1960s, But The Liberty Could Be Hard Finding Information Depending It Could Say Portland And North Bend Locations (The North Bend Location Is Very Easy To Find Stuff, Depending If You Look Stuff 1955 Or Higher).

50sSNIPES commented about Noble Theatre on Apr 25, 2020 at 11:53 pm

The City Of Coos Bay Before The Egyptian And The Old Broadway Came Along Used To Have A Crystal Theatre, A Royal Theatre, And An Orpheum Theatre. The Noble Theatre Was Planned And Constructed On November 5th, 1914 And Said It Will Take 2 Weeks In Time To Build. The Noble Theatre Is Opened In December 1914. When The Egyptian And The Liberty Theatre (Yes There Is A Liberty Theatre Also In Coos Bay) Took Its Role In Operation, The Noble Continued To Operate Until The Middle Of 1954, The Same Year The Liberty Theatre Installed CinemaScope In November 1954. I Can’t Find Anymore Information Of The Noble In Newspapers Years Later.
