I came across this 1950’s photo of the Star Theater in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Click the link below for the photo. Any further information on this theater would be appreciated.

a couple more interior shots KM mentioned above. Looks like this theatre may have once been twinned, then returned to a sigle screen cinema -

My father owned or ran the Star in 1961-1963. When I was born we lived in an apartment upstairs. Mt Mom would come up and feed me during the show, and be back at the concession between and after them.
Vintage exterior/interior photos of the Star Theatre can be seen on Roadside Oklahoma web,

I wonder who is the man in the photo posted by Miss Melba Toast 9/9/07??????
I didn’t realize that when the 09-09-07 Star Theatre picture was posted that Tulsa Library constantly changes images. Sorry!
When I was three, I walked downtown from 6th street to my uncle’s barber shop next door to the Star. He would cut my hair and give me 20 cents change. I would go next door to the Star and for 10 cents would watch movies and eat candy and popcorn until I couldn’t. Then I would walk across the street past the “Rathole” to my aunts cafe, Bob’s Cafe. I’d sit on the counter and talk to the customers. Many would not be able to pay so my aunt put their ticket in a Roi-Tan cigar box. When they had some money, they would come in and she would pull their tickets out of the cigar box and they’d pay their bill. those were the days, when a three year old could walk around without any reason to fear.
Judging from the interior photos linked earlier, I’d have guessed that the Star Theatre had at least 600 seats. The side section in this photo shows at least 28 rows with six seats per row, so the two side sections alone must have seated over 300, and the center section was probably about the size of the two side sections put together. Perhaps they removed every other row sometime late in the theater’s history.
