Still listed in the 1979 topo, but I’m very sure it was already gone by then.
Boxoffice, July 19, 1952: “Mrs. Edith Major has opened her Major Drive-In on Route 24 near Paris, Mo.”
There is some information that the Major Drive-In was still open in 1967. Its likely that the Major Drive-In was just closed for the season and not permanently. It was already gone by 1983.
The screen foundation is still present. And while there is a building of the same general size, it is not the projection booth as that was gone by 1995.
Independent Film Journal, Nov. 5, 1960: “The Main Street, indoor theatre, and the Major Drive-In, Paris, Mo., have been closed.”
