Sorry to report that I have nothing on small towns of Okmulgee County. Perhaps the Beryl Ford Collection will eventually post something on this subject.
Would imagine these were like most other Oklahoma tank towns. After the turn of the century saloons added a silver screen and projector, and began showing magic lantern flickers.

Seymour, …just saw your Dec. 7 post on Jan. 6, 2007…sorry to be so long responding. I didn’t know the Star had a thread until tonight, ‘til I read your post on the Inca thread, which has kind of turned into a bulletin board. And an interesting one.

I don’t believe I have any photos of the Star.

Regarding other Okmulgee County theatres, the little towns of Beggs, Dewar, and Kusa had theatres. Do you have any information on any of them?

Symco, this old movie house sounds fascinating. Do you have snapshots to post?

The Star Theater was actually on the West side of S Hughes St, between Ozark and Young.
