In case you have a problem downloading the file here is the text concerning the Star theatre.
“20. Mussman Bakery/ Star Theater, 106 & 108 N. Maple, ca. 1908. A two story, two-part commercial block with a flat roof and a concrete foundation. This brick building has two full shop spaces in the ground floor, and is one of the largest two-part commercial blocks in the district. The metal and wood ctorefronts were manufactured by Christopher and Simpson, of St. Louis; they are largely intact and feature large display windows with minimal bulkheads. The ceilings over the recessed shop entrances are sheathed with pressed tin. The second floor windows are early or original one-over-ones; there are two paired units in the center, with a single window on each side. The windows all have concrete sills and lintels, and the facade is topped by an ornamental brick
cornice. An early awning covers both shop spaces; it is sheathed with heavy shake shingles. The basement of this building is partially above grade, and the doorways are reached by concrete steps. Small windows with segmental arched tops are set in the foundation, beside the steps.
A National Register of Historic Places registration form covering the historic district of Cole Camp mentions a Star theatre located at 108 North Maple Street. Would that information apply to this Star theatre or perhaps there was another Star theatre located in Cole Camp, Missouri. Pdf File
There were two Red Bud theatres. The first theatre opened circa 1914 and closed when the new Red Bud theatre listed on this page opened at the address above. I have no address for the earlier Red Bud theatre.
You are very welcome. I have found a web page with some information about the Cheney Opera House. I can’t vouch for its accuracy but it might be helpful none the less. Cinema Data Project
Perhaps this information will help you with your research. The “opera house” that you are referring to was most likely the Cheney Opera House aka the Cheney Theatre on Exchange Street.
This Shillington theater opened in Sept. of 1949. It replaced an older Shillington theater located at 22 New Holland Ave, which was closed when this new theater opened. Seating for the new Shillington theater at 29 East Lancaster Ave, was advertised as having 654 seats.
The Kansas City Kansas Globe published on December 29, 1905 has an article about the opening of the People’s Theater which would take place on January 8, 1906.
Interesting information on the Brokaw 1 & 2 Facebook page. The architect was A.M. Strauss. Brokaw 1 & 2 opened in 1931 and is now closed for remodeling.
An informative file about the great depression and Sugar City which mentions the Weada Theatre being named after its owners, Weaver and Davis may be found at the following location.
American Classic Images has a photo of the Fine Arts when it was an adult cinema.

I believe this theatre was actually the Jefferis theatre. The theatre was named after its owner A. B. Jefferis.
