There were two theaters called the Star in Salem. The second one opened in either 1941 or 1942, and was at 27 N. Main Street (though the Google Map insists on saying it is at 213, if you zoom in you can plainly see the 27 on one of the building’s colonial style columns.)

The first Star Theatre was in a two-story building that might be one that now has a third floor on it. An old real photo postcard of it exists, but the full-sized version isn’t currently available on the Internet. It’s hard to make out the details in the thumbnail version, but it looks to me like the first Star might have been in the building on the northeast corner of Main and Broadway.
