Not to be confused with the same named theater in Brooklyn, this was a Bronx double feature house that I think closed in the very early-1980’s.

Very Cool photo’s. Perhaps someone else knows about a Star theatre.
I believe that page at Forgotten NY was from several years ago. Kevin is usually pretty accurate, but he could have made a mistake. I’ll e-mail him and see if he remembers where he got that Star info.
Thats a great idea Jeffrey. Thanks.
Here’s a new link to a night view from 1938. The man on the ladder suggests that the marquee lettering was in the process of being changed:

This photo looks just like the 1938 photo posted above.
Perhaps it was copied from the one that I originally posted above nearly two years ago on 9/7/06 and changed to a new link on 4/28/08?
Google must had a very small budget for these photographers. Half the time they shoot directly into the sun, or they stand behind a bus that completely blocks the shot. Anyway, here are some photos from the site:
