From the San Gabriel Valley Tribune: Star Theatre’s light may fade out
The theater, which showed pornographic movies from the 1970s to the 1990s, received an overhaul and began showing first-run films and featuring live performances.
But activities have slowed on the site, and the La Puente Redevelopment Agency on Tuesday will consider selling the adjacent 40-space parking lot to add land to the latest proposal…
Nothing lasts forever. It would be nice if the theatre could be preserved, but that would be up to the people of La Puente.
I just saw the Star Theatre on a Liberty Mutual ad on TV. What a very happy surprise, as i had suspected that Star has long since gone the way of other single-screen theatres.
I moved out of La Puente over 30 years ago. I too have fond memories of seeing “A Hard Day’s Night” there, as well as “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World” and so many more movies.
I am happy that La Puente still has this treasure, and it is still being used for first run movies.
