The end of one brief episode in the Star’s history was noted in the May 7, 1952 issue of The Exhibitor: “Newmarket: The Star invited the Newmarket Boys’ Club to be guests at the last performance before the theatre shut down. The Star, owned by Arthur J. Turcotte, has been operating since August, 1951.”
The Theatre Historical Society on-line archive has the MGM Theatre Report for the Star; it’s Card # 504. Address is Main St. There is an exterior photo taken April 1941. Condition is Fair. The report says that the Star opened about 1925, shows MGM movies, and had 434 seats on the main floor and 96 in the balcony, total 530. The 1940 population was 2,600.
