Harry’s Drive-In was opened by 1955. By December 1959, Motion Picture Exhibitor magazine noted that it was open on weekends. Its first appearance in the Motion Picture Almanac was in the 1960 edition, owned by H. L. Morrow, capacity 270 cars. On May 24, 1961, Motion Picture Exhibitor magazine reported, “Harry’s Drive-In, Calhoun City, Miss., is now Morrow Drive-In”.
The Morrow Drive-In of Calhoun City advertised in the Webster Progress as early as August 1962. In 1964, Boxoffice mentioned that the drive-in was operated by Tom Morrow. In October 1970, a storm damaged the screen, forcing it to close temporarily for repairs. The Morrow Drive-In was still operating in 1974 and possibly into the mid-1980’s.

Found It!
A close, but not exact address is 507 MS-8, Calhoun City, MS. The drive-in sat across the street on the south side of the road.
It first appears in a 1955 aerial, so it might’ve started earlier than the 1959 date or perhaps this is another drive-in altogether.
The drive-in remains intact through 1985, but I cannot say it was operational. By 1996, it had been demolished and became a private residence.
Today, the house has been demolished and nothing remains of the drive-in.
