Found it! The current address of the property is 4418 Dollarway Rd, Pine Bluff, AR. Today, it is occupied by James Matthews Elementary School with no trace of the drive-in left. http://tinyurl.com/hegjwwj
I had forgotten about the Dixie Drive-In. I used to work at the Zebra Drive-In back in 1954. Been away from Pine Bluff so long.
A note in the June 18, 1955 issue of Boxoffice said that the Dixie had integrated its audience to include Black patrons. “The theatre has a large picnic lawn in front of the screen tower, and there are benches and chairs on the patio in front of the tower for viewers who don’t want to remain in their cars. It has complete playground facilities and children under 12 are admitted free in cars.”
