Corral Drive-In

The Corral Drive-In was opened on May 1, 1956 with Dale Robertson in “Day of Fury”. Perhaps it was small and compact, but the 100 car capacity Corral Drive-In fulfilled its purpose of presenting movie entertainment under the stars. Southwestern Modern styling defined the Corral Drive-In, with pretty landscaping, and lovely after-dark lighting effects. It was closed in the mid-tolate-1970’s.

Drive-In was located NW of Wynnewood along US 77 just south of the E1620 Intersection on the SW side. You can still see the remnants of the ramps. https://goo.gl/maps/kdt47

Pauls Valley Daily Democrat, Sept. 23, 1962: “Charles Smith has leased the Corral Drive-in theater south of Pauls Valley from E. B. Anderson of Norman. He has moved to Pauls Valley with his family and has assumed management of the Corral … Anderson, who owns the Corral theater, operates a drive-in theater at Norman.”

Walsie Campbell launched the Corral Drive-In on May 1, 1956 with “Day of Fury.” In September of 1956, he sold both the Deal hardtop theater and the Corral to Elvin Anderson and James Gaskins.

A closer address is 23128 US-77, Pauls Valley, OK.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property. It is private property with a home sitting about where the screen once stood.

The remnants of the ramps are now gone. About the only thing left is the double-driveway entrance/exit roads. And what may be the foundation of the projection booth/concession stand
