Missouri Theater complex experiences fire damage; theater saved by fast-acting firefighters.
A fire broke out in the Missouri Theater complex on Feb. 18, 2011. Fast-acting firefighters took drastic action to save the theater itself from fire damage. The theater only sustained smoke damage. Dressing and rehearsal rooms, and theater office space, in adjacent buildings were the only areas significantly damaged by fire.

Here is a 2008 photo.
The Mar 25, 2008 link no longer works either.
The link I posted on 9/19/07 no longer works; use this one instead:
Missouri Theater, probably early 1950s
Anyone ever consider flying a screen and show a classic film now and then?
The Missouri Theater can be seen in the background of this photo, probably taken in the early 1950s.

This is a photo of the Missouri Theater in St. Joseph. (I hope)
Thanks for clearing this mystery up guys. I thought I was losing my marbles again. I’ll just post the photo link under the Columbia Missouri Theater. Maybe I should post it under all the Missouri Theaters just to be safe. (just kidding)
The link to my website of the St. Joseph Mo Theatre from the Columbia site is in error. I have added a clarification on the St Joseph page listed above.

I think what happened was the Kewpie site linked the wrong Missouri Theatre Center for the Arts in their info at the bottom of the page.
I may be wrong but having been to both theatres & the MU connection along with the look of the outside, I would say that the creator of the link you attached has used an incorrect photo for the St. Joe theatre.
The exterior of the Missouri Theatre in St. Joseph is very ornate:

The Missouri Theatre of Columbia was owned by Commonwealth Theatres (the center of the Marquee in your link refers to Comonwealth Theatres. The current exterior, which appears almost exactly as the link above can be seen at: http://www.cinematour.com/tour.php?db=us&id=9925
lost, the story line in the link above tells about the Missouri Theatre in Columbia, Mo. and the pic is also of the Missouri Theatre in Columbia. When you click the link at the end of the story that you are referring to where is says the theatre is owned by the City of St. Joseph it shows a few pictures of the Missouri Theatre in St. Jo. Evidently who ever set the info on the site got his information and pictures mixed up.
