Screen and projection booth/concession stand remained standing until 2009. By 2010 they were demolished.

Today, even the faint traces of the ramps have disappeared.

Just added more photos of original speakers and marquee letters. Very unique speakers. Name of theatre was originally something else. I will post here when I remember what it was.

1953 Film Daily Yearbook (FDY) has this listed as the Movie Park Drive-In. In 1955, FDY has it listed as Parkside Drive-In, probably as an unintentional mental error, as it is again listed as Movie Park Drive-In in the 1960 FDY, 1966 FDY, and 1970 FDY. International Motion Picture Almanac has it listed as Movie Park Drive-In in its 1962, 1964, 1965, and 1969 editions.

There was no reference in any of my theatre catalogs from 1950 to 1970 to a Spot Drive-In in this town. If there were a reference from another source, it was probably a mis-classified reference to the Spot Theatre, which was a hardtop, and not a drive-in.

Please remove Spot Drive-In under the “Previous Name” heading, as I believe this to be an error.

There was also a walk-in Spot Theatre in Siloam Springs. It was scheduled to open on November 9, 1946, according to the November 2 issue of Boxoffice Magazine that year.

This is closed, isn’t it? I don’t see any indication that they ever re-opened.
