Here is an article I came across in the Valley Journal on the Star Theatre from 2003 & 2004
The Star Theatre was owned by Eugene and Leah Wadsworth, who would sometimes let moviegoers earn the 35-cent admission by hauling rock off their fields. Since there was no television until 1958, “everyone went to every change of shows”.
At the groundbreaking of the Coral Cliff’s Cinema in May 2004, Mayor Tom Hirschi said, “I think back to the old Eugene Star Theater. Many years ago as a youngster, I remember we used to ask Gene, ‘Is there a good movie?’ and he’d say, ‘Best damn show in town.’”
The Star Theater opened in 1914 and showed movies until 1978.
The Eugene closed in 1978 and was converted to apartments. Here is an article about the Star/Eugene Theater.
