I didn’t realize that when the 09-09-07 Star Theatre picture was posted that Tulsa Library constantly changes images. Sorry!

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.

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

The little Star Theatre must have suffered from stiff competition since Sand Springs residents could ride streetcars to the big first run theatres in downtown Tulsa -

From this sad photograph of a neglected auditorium inside the Star Theatre, I can’t help but wonder if this theatre was a member of Griffith Amusement. I’ve been told by more than one source that, while Griffith usually kept their theatre facades in tip-top condition, they refused to buget enough money for upkeep of their theatre interiors.

The Star Theatre Building was a wonderful example of glass block streamline. The Sand Bar had cozy booths surrounding a star shaped bar situated in the center of an azure lighted room. All together it was a striking design to spend a night out on the night.
