The purchase of the Star Theatre in St. Charles, Illinois, by Robert Kremer of Geneva, Illinois, where he operated a house called the Grand Theatre, was noted in the July 8, 1916, issue of The Moving Picture World. Kremer formed a partnership with W. J. Bryant, who would manage both the Star and another St. Charles house, the Idle Hour Theatre.
A later owner renamed the house the Strand Theatre, and it was closed and dismantled in 1925, according to this brief item posted at Geneology.com:
The Strand and Idle Hour Theatres are listed in the Moving Picture Theatres section of the 1921 Cahn Guide, each with 500 seats and both operated by B. J. Vought.
