The State Theatre, an Art Deco gem, opened its doors as the area’s most beautifully appointed movie house on October 27th, 1939. The local paper immediately praised it as “one of the most strikingly beautiful building fronts of the modern day” and prompted one patron to ask “Is this really a Shelby playhouse?” The State was a typically popular and romanticized small town movie theatre, but in its later years (as The Flick) it encountered the same challenges that befell literally thousands of such film houses. Retail anchor stores moved to the malls along the highway… downtowns dried up and sometimes blew away… cable TV became a more and more dominant force in our lives… you know the story, you’ve seen it happen all over the country.
