50sSNIPES commented about Plaza Cinema on Nov 15, 2025 at 12:48 pm

The Plaza Cinema most likely closed on November 21, 1956 with “A Kid From Two Farthings” and “Forever My Heart”. Its cause of closure wasn’t revealed until mid-January 1957 when the staff told the South Wales Argus that it was due to the “television popularity and estate issues”, meaning that the Plaza became a television victim.

The Monett Drive-In is VERY short-lived. It opened in July 1952, but received a long closure following a fire that destroyed the projection room on June 3, 1953 during a showing of Richard Conte in “The Fighter”. It reopened the following year on May 7, 1954, and closed in 1955.
