Marceline had a rich history and connection to Hollywood and Vaudeville. A small city in the middle of northern Missouri that sat on a major railroad line had significantly more importance in the entertainment industry than just Disney. Before Disney was Ainsley. Marcleine also boasted an opera house, numerous Nickelodeons, two main movie theaters, and a drive-in theater. It was home to two premieres (both Disney) and even created its own movie.
