The Mars Under The Stars Drive-In was first (and only) operated by the March Bros Theatres chain and opened its gates on May 29, 1964 with Walt Disney’s “Yellowstone Cubs” and the 1962 smash “The Music Man”. It was first managed by Chuck Houston and later taken over by Tim Collins a couple years later. Throughout its entire history, the drive-in was operated by the March Bros chain.
The theater closed for the final time on June 19, 1986 with “Cobra” due to low attendance.
The Le Mars Daily Sentinel reported today that for the second year, Total Motors will host a drive-in movie at “the original location of the 1950’s drive-in theater.”
