The Starlight Drive-In was opened by 1955 and was operated by the Imperial Theaters Co. chain. It was still open in 1970, but demolished by 1984, the site is used by a wrecking company.

Boxoffice, Nov. 26, 1955: “The new Starlite Drive-In on Highway 70, accommodating 360 cars and featuring a 48x100-foot screen, has made its formal debut. Henry Haven is manager of the theatre. One feature of the drive-in, in addition to nightly spraying against insect pests, is the stocking of individual car mosquito bombs for sale at the concession stand.”
A 1957 aerial photo showed a drive-in a little over a mile south of town on US 70. Nothing remains of the drive-in today; a wrecker service occupies the front of the site at 9832 US-70, Brinkley, AR 72021.
Still open in 1970, but the screen was gone by 1984.
