Star Theatre

A July 16, 1921 article in The Moving Picture World gave the names of the four movie theaters then operating in Oil City, and the Star was not among them, so it must have closed by that time. The four houses in 1921 were the Venango, the Princess, the Lyric, and the Temple. The Temple, which was open by 1916, was at 230 Seneca, so if the Temple and Star’s periods of operation overlapped they were fairly near neighbors.
