Theatres: The Strand and the Star



2008-06-25 - Russell County, KY - Photo By Ed Polston.
CAN ANY READER HELP? Ed Polston sent these two photos and wrote, "I found these pictures among my deceased Sister's pictures. Doe anyone know where the Strand Theatre was located. I know the Star is in Russell Springs." If anyone has more details on the photos, please send the information to ColumbiaMagazine.com. Were they both in Russell Springs? One of the vehicles appears to be a 1951 Ford. But it's hard to make out the guy in the doorway of the doorway of the market on the left. And letters on the hanging sign are hard to make out. A barber shop? "Talt Jones?"
