Boxoffice, May 18, 1970: “William Wetsman has increased his holdings by the purchase of the following Ashmun theatres: … Auto Drive-In, Saginaw; Belair Drive-In, Saginaw; amd the Twilight Drive-In, Saginaw.”
Opened on August 21st, 1948 and closed in 1991. Grand opening ad posted.
Boxoffice, Feb. 22, 1960: “William Sarchet has purchased the interest of Alvin Seeley in the Twilite Theatre Co., which owns and operates the Twilite and Bel-Air drive-in theatres at Saginaw. Sarchet thus becomes half owner, effective March 1, with Ashmum Theatres owning the other half.”
Maybe The Listening Room took the marquee with them to their new location?
The marquee was on the building of The Listening Room. Doing some research it appears The Listening Room moved to a different location, and on their website they state that the mural was up until 2014 and they have a video of the lighting ceremony. Going down to street view I cannot locate the marquee anywhere so it appears that this one is lost.
A Menards home improvement store was built on the site in 2006.
