Advertised as the Okla Drive-In Theatre from 1957 and into the 1960s likely until closing.

jwmovies is correct, the address is Oklahoma 53 and Oklahoma 65, Walters, OK.

The drive-in sat on the SE corner of the intersection. Today, the property is empty, save for the bailed and rolled hay that is stored. You can easily see the ramps, entrance and exit road.
