R.L. Roberts and W.C. Mauldin launched the Tower Drive-In Theatre on August 6, 1949 with “I Shot Jesse James.” In 1950, a competing ozoner, the Star-Lite Drive-In Theatre opened. Jack J. Arthur took on the entire portfolio of Stephenville’s theatres consisting of the Palace, the Majestic, the Ritz as well as the Tower and the Star-Lite. Overbuilt, he shed the Tower and then the Ritz. The Tower appears to have closed after a double feature of My Dog Shep and Comin' Round the Mountain on November 13, 1951. A news note said that the Tower might be used for outdoor advertisements in 1952.
