Opened in the summer of 1948.
It looks like the theater was immediately demolished after closure. A 1982 aerial view looks like the entire theater is almost gone except for the entrance trails.
Boxoffice, May 10, 1965: “Mr. and Mrs. Al Spargur, owners of the Grand Theatre (in Du Quoin IL), have reopened the former Melody Drive-In under the name of Holiday Drive-In. Located several miles south of Tamaroa, it has been closed since February for repairs and renovation. The concession stand and projection room have been remodeled and some new equipment added. Repairs have been made to the 45x80-foot screen. New lighting has been added to the entrance and speakers have been tuned and repaired.”
This drive in was open till at least 1977.
