A note in the July 30, 1955 Motion Picture Almanac suggests this drive-in opened that month. “Capshaw’s ‘Home of the Stars,’ a new drive-in theatre has just been opened at Chaffee, Mo., The layout includes a snack bar, carside service and a playground for the youngsters.”
What stars was it home to?
I think it was named after the names of the famous. I’m not sure though.
