The Wheaton Journal said on Aug. 21, 1952 that the Monett’s screen had been damaged, apparently in a storm.

The Aug. 30, 1952 Monett Times reported, “Mrs. Georgia Kelley, manager of the Monett Drive-In Theatre, announced that the theatre will re-open tonight as the new screen has been installed.” (per a 50 years ago note in 2002)

The drive-in looked intact in a 1955 aerial photo but was long gone by 1970. A good modern-day address would be 621 State Hwy 37, Monett, MO.
