For information purposes the Unique and the (Star) Palace were in Patchogue.

There were two Novelty theaters. The first Novelty Theatre was destroyed by a fire in August of 1918. A fire started in a laundry building adjoining the Novelty Theatre to the south. Both the theater and airdome were destroyed. In September of 1918 Henry Kost already had plans drawn for a new moving picture theatre, similar in size but with many improvements over the old building. I don’t know how long it took to rebuild, but the next time that I find the Novelty advertised is April 18, 1919. A moving picture benefit for the Sayville Girl Scouts was held that evening. Admission was 25 cents.
Operating in 1922.

“Paddy O'Hara” and “Villa of the Movies” are coming to the Novelty Theatre next Monday night for the benefit of the library. They are as fine pictures as have ever been shown here.

Movies of Merit at the Novelty Theatre
At the Novelty Theatre the celebrated “movie” stars perform nightly and at Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday matinees. Mr. Kost, the proprietor has made every effort to respond to the demands of his patrons and presents Broadway attractions several nights each season.
Plans for remodeling the Novelty Theatre are now in preparation. so that an up-to-date house will be ready by next summer.
