Star Theatre in Torrensville was located at Henley Beach Road, Torrensville and its first screening took place on the 2nd March 1916 (Walker, 1995 p. 129). The theatre is described as - ‘double-fronted buildings with two nice shops and a splendid entrance… tip-up seats in the dearer portion, the sixpenny section is all upholstered, and there is accommodation for 1 000 persons. Two sliding roofs and 20 large pivot windows make perfect ventilation.
