STATE THEATRE - PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE
The State Theatre was hailed as "the largest, finest and most beautiful playhouse in Western Pennsylvania," upon its opening in the fall of 1922. With many accolades it became a "picture place," showing silent movies and presenting vaudeville's finest acts from the B.F. Keith Circuit.
Thomas Lamb, a nationally known theater architect, designed the State. He is best known for his work in the 18th century Robert Adam's style of architecture and for his fine acoustical planning. The Ingstrip-Burke Company of Chicago, Art Designers, decorated the interior of the Moderne structure in the Adam's style. The theme was that of "refinement of line and chasteness of ornamentation." The artist in charge, Michael Tomlin, educated at the School of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, Russia, pronounced himself well-satisfied: "It is better than I hoped, it is what I dreamed."
The State Symphony Orchestra held forth in the pit with a $40,000.00 Pleubet Master Organ at the left front of the main floor - accompanying the silent films to fit the mood. As the Big Band sound emerged, the State hosted some of the country's greatest musical attractions including Paul Whitman, Glen Gray and the Dorsey Brothers.
The popularity of "talkies" signaled the end for in-house musicians and the end of vaudeville. Although the greatest names in Hollywood flickered across the screen and epics such as Gone With the Wind drew packed audiences, the State's days as a movie palace were numbered. Television took away a sizable audience and the movie theatre trend turned to multiple screens and smaller auditoriums: The State Theatre closed in June 1973.
After a number of years the theatre reopened as The State Music Hall, featuring county and western music legends like Johnny Cash, Slim Whitman, Waylon Jennings and The Statler Brothers. Though popular for a time, the State Music Hall concept did not work out and the theatre closed again.
In 1988, The Greater Uniontown Heritage Consortium purchased the theatre, restored its old name and began presenting aseries of professional programs ranging from Broadway musicals to big bands, symphonies to country music superstars. The State Theatre offers a children's series of shows and provides educational programming for school groups. A multi-million dollar restoration project is currently underway to restore the "Grand Old Lady of Main Street" to her original splendor.
While exploring the Whitesboro Train Depot (See earlier in Photostream), I noticed there were train cars parked a ways down the track. So on the following Sunday I walked down to check them out...It was a group of five. Three of them were the same kind of passenger cars with Atlantic Central stenciled on the side of two. The oldest was and old fashioned compartment car, with a parlor on each end and "Buffaloian" written on the side. The last was a sliver,comptemporary, Amtrack type car that was locked up tight.

Straight out of 1967.
Metcalf South Shopping Center opened in 1967, and was one of the most popular malls in the Kansas City area. When we lived in Overland Park in the mid-1970s this place was hopping. My sister worked at the Woolworth's. It began to die in the 1980s after the Oak Park Mall opened up 3 miles away. Today it is probably one of the cleanest dead malls out there. The fountains all work except for one. My oldest son compared it to scenes from the recent movie "I Am Legend". Both he and my youngest were a bit freaked out by it.
What does the title have to do with the photo? Not a darn thing.
I'm just tired of the hate being spewed online these days. If you wouldn't say anything remotely as vile to their face, don't say it to them / about them online.
Our history, our resources, our culture, our economy, our people.... they are all reflected in the artwork and fixtures throughout our beautiful State Capitol.

I know, so I'll go ahead and say it first. Yes, this is the third photo I've posted from this quaint little spot. Alya, Matt and I went there last night to sample their wine and menu. On a great plus side, after meeting with the owner, it seems they want to be a welcome addition to my little "secret" project.
The bad news for the night? Too much wine and too many beers with Randy next door at Hammerheads. Speaking of Hammerheads.... Yup, they sure are (hence the delayed post)
The Stainless Steel Frames are 1st wrapped/clad in Muslin.
Later a Composite is made with Rice papers, adhesives,Fire Retardant Chemicals, and then sealed and sanded and sealed again.
The final effect is like Parchment, or Velum.
These will be mounted to a Stainless Steel "pan" /backplate- that will hold the bulbs to the wall- and allow the "shade" to be removed for changing the bulbs.
