The Star was at 104 N. Main Street, in a building that now houses a hardware store.
The July 3, 1909 issue of The New York Dramatic Mirror said that the new Star Theatre in Herkimer had opened on June 21 with two acts of vaudeville, moving pictures, and illustrated songs. The type on the page is smudged, but I believe it says the house had 500 seats. A book called A Companion to Early Cinema says that the Star was a storefront conversion. It was not one of the three theatres listed at Herkimer in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory, but might only have been overlooked.
