“The Star Drive-In at Marceline has been forced to suspend operations until a new screen tower can be erected. The old one was left ‘in splinters’ following high winds which hit the community Friday afternoon. Considerable overall damage also was suffered to the speaker posts and grounds.” – Boxoffice Magazine, June 20, 1960

“The devastation was so complete at the Star Drive-In at Marceline Junction that the owners have decided not to attempt repairs and they have put the property up for sale.” – Boxoffice Magazine, July 4, 1960
