Fantastic photos! My grandmother used to take me to the Star, although it closed when I was very young…Conn’s is definitely the Concord Theater except they added a marquee.
My friend & I used to go to the movies here in the 1950’s when we were in grammar school…saw the original King Kong there and lots of horror movies…I remember 2 of the women who ran the place (one was heavy set) and always sat on the right side of the long corridor leading from the street to the theatre…there was a drink machine across the hall from the snack stand…the place was always “seedy” but we had lots of fun times there eating “Pom Poms”!

I would love to see the photo card you have…Lane in New Orleans…I was raised in Concord, and we used to go to the Concord and Capitol Theaters.
