Some time ago there was a discussion about the State Theater as to a statue that was suppose to be in front of it. At my website http://community.webshots.com/user/ladynews
I have created a folder showing the State Theater shortly after it opened. Sorry about the quality, but it was taken from a Xerox copy of the original photo which in ture was copied from a book.
If you look at the front of the building, there does not seem to be a statue in the area above the sign.
I tried to improve the picture, but this is the best I could get.
