liversid commented about Star Theater on Feb 9, 2010 at 1:24 pm

The Star Theater was a Saturday destination for kids all across Lawrence. “The Curse of Frankenstein” starring Peter Cushing was the first film I ever saw in a theater and I saw it, with a packed audience of screaming kids, at the Star. I fondly remember Nick and his wife (boy, did they have patience!), the great bargain prices for tickets and snacks (even for the early 1960s) and the Elvis, horror and Three Stooges films. Nick would always run what we kids wanted to see. I have only happy memories of the Star – the Saturday babysitter for Lawrencians.
