Neth's State Theater photograph   Save
David H. Curl Collection
Description: Photograph showing Neth's State Theater, located at 1722 North High Street near the Ohio State University campus in Columbus, Ohio. The marquee advertises a double feature of Monkey Business (1952) starring Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers, and Laura (1944) starring Gene Tierney and Clifton Webb. On the left is a store selling nuts and candy as well as quick lunches, and on the right is the Trink Carte Grill, advertising ice cream and sandwiches. Originally opened as the State Theater in 1923, this movie theater operated as part of the Neth's chain beginning in the 1930s. The venue was later converted to the Agora, which was in operation from 1970-1984. Starting in 1984, it was renamed the Newport Music Hall, and still operates as a popular music venue today.
