In late-July 1952, Boxoffice magazine reported that Thomas Dollinger planned to open his new Starline Drive-In “about the middle of August” in Hines WV.
The 1953-54 Theatre Catalog included the Starline under Hines, owner Thomas R. Dollinger, capacity 200 cars.
A 1957 aerial photo showed a small drive-in on the west side of tiny Hines. It had fallen into disrepair by 1969 and had been demolished by 1982.
Location note: Hines is an unincorporated community that gets its mail from Charmco, another unincorporated community.

From the aerial photos, it appears the drive-in had become an auto salvage yard by 1969.
The screen along with the projection booth/concession stand was still upright in 1970. By 1982, both had been removed.
Today, the property has been resurfaced with gravel. A building stands near where the screen once stood with a trailer next to it. For most of the past 25 years, the property appears to have been owned by a trucking company. But it is currently unoccupied.
Apart from the entrance road, there is no trace of the drive-in remaining.
