In the 1914-1915 edition of American Motion Picture Directory there were two movie theatres named Star Theatre operating in Sandusky, OH. One located at 733 Market Street, the other at 124 Columbus Avenue (that building still exists as a coffee house and has its own page on Cinema Treasures).
This page is for the- Market Street, Star Theatre which opened in 1907. It was still operating in 1929, which was possibly its final year of operation, still a silent movie theatre.

As the Columbus Avenue Star opened in 1914, the item in the May 8, 1909 issue of The Moving Picture World must pertain to the Market Street Star, which the item said had recently shown three reels of “The Great Wolf Hunt” for an admission of five cents. The July 10 issue of MPW says “[t]he Star Theater, Sandusky, Ohio, under management of Bumgartner & Franklin, has been closed for the Summer months.” The Star and other Sandusky movie houses are mentioned frequently in the MPW in 1909.
This page at Sandusky History says that the original Star Theatre on Market Street opened in 1907. The two Stars were apparently under the same management.
