Not much known about this theatre as it reads mostly…unknown, unknown, unknown. Can anyone provide a photo of this theatre in Dean’s hometown. It would be great to see it restored and a Martin theme lobby. I have read that Martin’s daughter, Deana visits the town during the DM Festival so I would think she would look into this venture or get the community involved in looking at this theatre IF it still is standing which is a big question. A restored theatre could feature Martin films, etc.
The State Theatre is a very interesting architectural combination and should be seen to be appreciated. The theatre has its original organ though as yet to be restored. Thanks to Don Welch, head usher I was given a full tour from the projection room to the basement!
Lost Memory: Thanks for the photo site. I have been to this theatre and in June the Hollywood Happening with the HD crowd really fills up the town to support this theatre!
Chuck: Please email me a photo of the Wichita Theatre as the 7/31 post doesn’t work…thanks. I lived in WF when hubby was attending Midwestern University which is now Midwestern State.
Onas: I really don’t know about the Carolina being haunted, but it is need of a complete restoration and if you are in the Charlotte area and are interested in helping CTPS with their restoration efforts, please contact them!
LuvTheater: I see on the membership directory that you just became a CT member so welcome. If you would like to “chat Warner”, my email can be found on my profile page. I attended the Home for the Holiday concert at the Warner last December and it was wonderful.
LuvTheater: Yes, the Warner is the jewel of Erie and thanks to the late Mayor Tullio we still have the Warner on State Street. Do you work with the theater or the Erie Philharmonic office? Last summer I purchased a lovely Warner poster and recently had it framed.
Thanks to an earlier post this is a good site to view and read about many aspects of the Paradise Theater. I didn’t realize this theatre was an Eberson/atmospheric so now it certainly has my interest!
“I really don’t feel my tax dollars should be involved in renovating something that belongs in the private sector,” said Mike Vogel, an insurance agent. “To be perfectly honest, the fact that it’s an architectural jewel doesn’t really push my buttons.” I clicked on the name, Mike Vogel in the AP article and don’t believe they are the same person, but I may be wrong. Hope someone can clear this matter up!
THIS this in Alaska should and must be saved. I really can’t believe the quote from a local businessman…..“I really don’t feel my tax dollars should be involved in renovating something that belongs in the private sector,” said Mike Vogel, an insurance agent. “To be perfectly honest, the fact that it’s an architectural jewel doesn’t really push my buttons.” Sorry to read that he feels this way as it is obvious to me that he doesn’t realize the importance of saving this beautiful theatre because once it is gone, it is gone! And I don’t want to read later that the site is a parking lot or bank!

Interesting to read about the “5 Wonder Theatres” on the GTOS site. One of the them was a Rapp and Rapp designed theatre and yet another is a church.

I just hope there aren’t many Mike Vogel’s in Anchorage that feel the way he does about the 4th Avenue Theatre!

unfogged eyes: Thanks for the new Flickr pix. This once beautiful theatre should never been allowed to deteriorate to this extent!
