Thanks for finding a name for this!
The November, 1922 issue of trade union journal American Federationist lists the Star Theatre as one of four Kokomo movie houses whose managers had signed agreements with musicians and projectionists. The Victory, Pictureland and Strand were also operating with union contracts, while workers at the Isis, Grand and Colonial were on strike.
The 1912-1913 Kokomo city directory has a listing for the “Star Theatre, Etta M. Albaugh propr, 127 N. Buckeye.” The Star is not listed in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory, so if it was operating in 1916 it might have closed for a while and then reopened.
As I understand Joe Vogel’s research, this can’t have been the Fairview. The theater on E Sycamore was still operating at this point.
