The De Soto Theatre opened in 1936. The correct addressis 102 S. Main Street, De Soto, MO. 63020.
Boxoffice, July 30, 1955: “The old DeSoto (Mo.) Theatre is being converted into a store building. Owner B? Collins operates the Collins Theatre and the Skyview Drive-In there”
Did some tracking down and found a 1947 picture of the Collins. It later became the Melba. Uploaded it on the Melba site.
The Grand Opening of the De Soto Theatre took place with “Red Salute” on October 1, 1935. The De Soto closed for the season on May 28, 1953 with “My Son John.” It promised to reopen when the new Sky-Vue Drive-In closed for its first season and it would have a new 3D compatible screen. That date came and went and, in 1954, the former De Soto Theatre’s concession equipment and theater seats were offered for sale.
