The Newville Theater Is First Planned On October 10th, 1935. Unfortunately, It Didn’t Open Until 1939. Yes It Is Closed On March 14th, 1952 Because Of The Fire That Destroyed The Curtain, And The Floodlight That Was Immediately Set On Fire, But I Think The FDY Is Lying.

The Actual History Of The Arcade Theatre Takes Place In The 1910s. In 1919, The Arcade Was Once Almost Destroyed By A Small Fire And Was Remodeled Later On. In June 1936, The Arcade Changed Its Name To The State, And Was Remodeled Once Again. Along With The Ritz And The Texas, All 3 Theaters Are Locally Owned And Operated Later On After The Pope Took Its Local Operations As An Operator After Being A Chain For A While. Yes It Did Close In 1953, But However, The Local Theater Chain Ritz-Texas-State Theaters Inc. Of McKinney Remained Its “State” Name Until October Of 1955.
