Lyceum
transform the structure into a "cinema palace
and vaudeville hall". This was done at a cost
of about half-a-million dollars. A $26,000
Link organ was purchased from Binghamton.
Original capacity has been described as 1,818
seats. Current capacity is 1,626.
The primary style is Collegiate Gothic, a
popular building design seen on American
college campuses roughly from about 1900
through the 1930s. It was meant to emulate
that seen at the English institutions of higher
learning like Oxford or Cambridge. This plays
out in the State auditorium with the addition
of colorful heraldry, small shields, etc.
Additional elements of Moorish and even
Renaissance design create an intriguing mix
of styles. Finally, the State was designed as
an atmospheric theatre. The deep blue
ceiling has twinkling lights scattered through
painted constellations. Originally, a cloud
machine added to the overall effect, perhaps
one of watching the movie or performance
under a dark summer sky in a castle
courtyard.
After the decline of vaudeville in the 1930s,
the State operated primarily as a movie
theatre. The balcony was divided off for a
second cinema in 1976. Condemned in 1997
due to accumulated decay, the property was
bought by the non-profit, Historic Ithaca
organization in 1998. An official reopening
was held December 5, 2001. Since then, the
theatre has been used mainly for concerts
and other live performances. It has been
garnering more well-known acts and is once
again becoming a popular venue in this
lively, two-college town. Revenue helps cover
operating costs and is funneled back into
restoration when possible. The project has
entered Phase II. A dollar-for-dollar matching
grant of $150,000 has also been awarded to
the project by the Save America's Treasures
(SAT) program. Currently, more than half the
amount has been raised, with a deadline of
July 2005.

Sheridan Opera House
7 Lebanon
1895-1997
Formerly the Sheridan Opera House, 7
Lebanon St., Hamilton, completed in 1895.
This structure has spent most of its life as a
movie house. For decades, starting in 1934,
Hamilton residents and students from
Colgate University walked to the Sheridan to
see the newest flicks.
The theater went dark in January 1997.
Movies returned in May.
The theater has been altered. The balcony
was cut into two separate theaters, and the
main auditorium now has no reminders of
the ornate old days.
Frank Fura is the manager of the Movie
House. He worked renovating the theater,
and he saw the ornamental details from
19th-century artisans. "It was absolutely
gorgeous," Fura says.
Now, the theater's emphasis is on being
functional. Fura is proud of the theater's
renovation, though he admits he wishes the
interior could have retained more of its
former charm.
