Starlight Drive-In Long Sleeve T-Shirt

The Starlight Drive-In in Alton, Illinois, opened on May 6, 1950, after rain pushed back the grand opening. Its screen tower rose in rounded tiers around a central column, with the name in enormous illuminated letters on both sides of the column. Cinema Treasures compares it to a set from a 1930s Flash Gordon serial.

Bloomer Amusement of Belleville bought the theater in 1952, and a second screen came in the mid-1970s. The Starlight closed on October 14, 1984, when the land was sold to a developer. A medical building went up on the site.
