Mÿ Uncle Herb owned this Drive-In. He eventually was involved in something of a landmark court case in 1971 over the content of the films he showed. Feel free to Google “Herb Hartstein vs. Missouri Supreme Court” if you would like to read the whole details of the case.
My Dad took me to see “King Kong” here in 1976. Being 4 years old at the time, I had this terrifying fear throughout the whole movie that Kong could come out of the screen and get me. Was so scared at times I was crying, and hiding under the seats. Then I cried hysterically at the end when(SPOILER ALERT?) Kong died. Dad and older sister finally consoled me by convincing me Kong was really okay and that he went back to his home in the jungle. :)

The Herbert Hartstein mentioned in a previous comment who owned this theater happened to be my late Uncle Herb. :)
