The New Electric Theatre was opened in 1912 at 520 Bainbridge Street. It was renamed Star Theatre in the early-1920’s.
In 1939 the operation of the theatre was moved down the block into a modern building and it reopened as the New Clark Theatre. The Clark Theatre was closed in 1962.

You can’t see the theater very well, but the caption puts it on Main Street. The photo is dated 1942 from Life:

I could have just said the theater was on Main, but this confirms it. I don’t think it’s a great photo either. Address should be updated.
OK….I am familiar with Barry….from this photo, you are on what is now Bainbridge St, looking north with the Park on your right….where is the theater in this photo?
I want to go down to Barry and see where it used to be.
If you look down (North) to the next block on the right past the light colored building with the awnings, the other theater (Star Theater) would be a few buildings just past the light colored building. It is right before the where the alley is now. It is pretty easy to spot, but the owners would not let me in to take a look when asked a couple of years ago.
This theater was located at 764 Bainbridge Street. It is now a video production studio for Nature’s Way Outdoors. Streetview has been updated.
