Once known as Star Theatre.
The Anton Theatre was renamed the Star Theatre on March 1, 1963. It was still open in 1971.
Built On April 25, 1911. There’s A Lot To Say On Its Opening Day. The Anton Opened On February 17, 1912 With A Very Shocking, Long, Interesting And Confusing Lineup. I Looked At The Photoplay Attraction Very Closely And It Actually Reads “Selig-Western”, But I’m Totally Not Sure What That Film Is Originally Titled. This Also Includes An Illustrated Song By A Name Simply Termed As “Rosenbaum”, A Musical Performance By Ola Edeburn, Comedy Routines Including Roller Skating Artists By 2 Guys Simply Named As Barry And Barton, Another Musical Performance, This Time By 2 Guys Simply Named As Morton And Hahn Including Some Other Producers, The Greater City Quartette, And Another Photoplay, Vitagraph, And A Comedy Reel.
A 1985 article about the pending demolition of the Bentley Theatre says that the Anton Theatre, at Third and Main Streets, operated until 1970 and was demolished in 1977. A McDonald’s restaurant was built on the site.
