Missing a few words, but still interesting to me - part of the Lone Star became part of the Derby Drive-In.

McLean News, June 26, 1952: “For the past couple of weeks, there’s been a big brick-cleaning project going on in McLean. Amos and Joe Page have been clearing away the rubbish from the old Lone Star Theatre, which burned two or three years ago. The bricks are being cleaned by boys, and will be used in the construction of the drive-in theater planned xxx. The old wall on the west xxx, part of which is still standing, will be torn down, Amos Page said. The front part of the building will be left intact.”
