A note in the July 13, 1970 issue of Boxoffice implied that the Marshalltown was built in 1948, though that might not be accurate. Manager Walter Gary spent $2000 on refurbishment, some of it repainting the 20x70-foot screen, “the first major improvements made at the Drive-In Theatre since it was built here 22 years ago”.

The address above is incorrect.

Now American Home Patient (Staples has since closed) and BeMobile (Verizon dealer).

Address: 101 Iowa Ave W, Marshalltown, IA 50158.

Berle did not exist when this theater was open as it runs through the actual location.
