50sSNIPES commented about Eagle Theatre on Nov 4, 2024 at 2:28 pm

The Grand Theatre opened in 1913, and was renamed the Eagle Theatre on January 5, 1933 after it was sold to Mrs. J.E. Moss of Mexico, Missouri. Stilwater once had two movie theaters right after WWII, the Eagle and the Susan.

It was still open in 2011 but was closed around a few years later. The theater was renamed Thurman’s Eagle Theatre in mid-2017 following a remodel including its marquee but appears that the theater never reopened as a movie house afterward.

50sSNIPES commented about White's Drive-In on Nov 3, 2024 at 6:29 am

Opened on April 8, 1949 with Walt Disney’s “Bambi” along with an unnamed cartoon and comedy.

Also, It appears that this closed in the late-1950s. Both 1959 and 1964 aerial views show the drive-in being completely fading, while the screen is gone by 1964. The drive-in was then covered with trees.
