In reality

The scene was filmed at the State Theatre, which seats 2,181 and opened in 1921, at the time considered the most technologically advanced and thoughtfully designed theater in the United States. One Minneapolis newspaper reviewer described it as a "gilded palace of pleasures dedicated to the Hollywood dreams that captured the heart of America in the Roaring Twenties." It was designed by Chicago architect J.E.O. Pridmore in a free Italian Renaissance style and boasted Minneapolis's first well-driven air conditioning system. The original stage floor was glass and lit from below, creating stunning visual effects. The premiere program included a silent film, newsreel, and travelogue. The movie screen was the largest screen west of the Mississippi River at the time and was designed so that every person had a perfect view of the film. In 1970, the film "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" set a national record for the longest run in America (34 weeks). In 1989, the Minneapolis Community Development Agency acquired the LaSalle Plaza block, including the State, as part of the LaSalle Plaza development project. After nearly two years of renovations costing $8.8 million, the State Theatre reopened in November 1991 with the Minnesota Opera production of "Carousel." The restored proscenium stretches nearly the full width of the building and curves 100 feet above the stage. Six chandeliers in the house are original, as are the murals on the walls. Since its reopening in 1991, the theater has hosted touring Broadway shows such as "Avenue Q," "Sweeney Todd," and "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," concerts featuring Patti Smith and Gordon Lightfoot, author and adventure lecture series, and films, including the world premiere of the Minnesota-filmed movie "Grumpy Old Men." Hennepin Theatre Trust is currently the owner and operator of this magnificent structure.
