Star Theatre, Northville, NY

Converted from a Hardpan Store to a theatre in 1917 by Grant Palmer. There was one show on Wednesday and Friday nights and two shows on Saturday. The price of a ticket was 25 cents! The stage was narrow and not meant for theatrical productions, but was occasionally used by the High School for theatrical productions. The theatre closed in 1969.

Speaker: Norman Barker
Transcript: "It was only open a couple days a week. There was no color pictures. There was no sound. Any conversation and anything was written underneath. So you had to watch somebody say it, and try to see underneath what they were saying, which made it very interesting. And the only back-up, there was, was a lady playing the piano."
