Can anyone tell me what happened to the Star Cinema at the top of Kildare road Crumlin?. I was born in 1948 and used to live on Cashel Road up until 1969 but have lived on the Isle of Man since and I have often wondered if it is still there. On Saturday's we used to go to th 'haypny rush' or should that be 'crush'!, when the lane at the left hand side of the Star would be jammed packed with kid's waiting for the door to open. If it was a nice Summer day the heat would be ferocious and we'd all get agitated waiting, allsort's of rumble's would break out, even though we were no more than 8 or nine year's of age! I remember kid's climbing up the wall on the left hand side and jumping off it into the garden at the end(Kildare Road?)because we were bored?. The poor woman living there must have been tearing her hair out shouting at us.ha! I even remember when Bill Hayly was shown (in mid early fiftys?Rock Around The Clock? and all the seat's were ripped out . The place was absolutely filled to the gunnel's and in uproar. Doris Day used to be the Sunday film on a lot of occasion's and Roy Rogers, alias 'duck the bullets', was a regular western. Him and Gabby Hayes (go get the sherriff son!) were shot hundred's of time's but we'd still go for the follow-up not realising that they should be dead.In the sixtys when the Beatles film A HARD DAYS NIGHT came the place was crammed for 2 weeks and nearly all seen it at least 6 time's!.
Do's anyone have information or memories they'd like to share on this?.I would love to hear from you.
