The theater originally opened with three screens on July 1, 1976. By 1984, operations were reduced to a single screen showing adult films, but in 1985, all three screens reopened as a dollar theater. The venue ultimately closed, placing its final advertisement on September 7, 1986.

2nd screen opened on December 15th, 1978 with “Up in Smoke”. I wonder how many joints were lit up that night?

This opened as the Cumberland Drive-In theatre on October 14th, 1952 “for White only” and reopened as the Jet Drive-In on August 28th, 1953. Grand opening ad posted. Could this have been opened to “Colored” patrons before October 1952 under a different name?
