I think the other one in East End was the Virginian theater. My Dad used to take me there on Saturday nights to see western movies.....Tom Micks, Cisco Kid, Lone Ranger, etc. Norma Phoebe Poff wrote: > Boy, do you all bring back memories....love all the chatter about Radford.I believe there were two movie houses in East End and only one (StateTheatre) inWest End.

Phoebe: There used to be a motorcycle policeman in Radford by the name of Gentry. He would set at the foot of Hornbarger Hill and hide behind a telephone pole (he was that skinny). Caught a lot of people getting a run for the hill.
