Carl Schwanabeck is back running The Village. It must be something about this business that gets in your blood because Carl has to be in his 80’s now and still at it

In 1967, Mrs. Mabel Kerr, owner of Kerr Theaters, operated the Grand Theater and New Hi Vu Drive-In in Knoxville as well as the Noll Theater and Frontier Drive-In in Bethany, Missouri.

The Village Theatre was purchased by Carl Schwanabeck and a partner by the last name of Kerr in 1960. In 1970 Schwanabeck and Kerr disolved their partnership with Schwanabeck buying the Village. Carl also owned The Hi Vue Drive In built in 1964 after The Army Corp of Engineers bought out The Frontier Drive In for the Red Rock Dam project. The Frontier was built in 1952. Carl also owned The Tomahawk theatre in Indianola, Iowa
