It was opened on June 15, 1950 with a performance from “Lightnin' Williams and his Four Flashes” and the film “Mrs. Mike” starring Dick Powell. According to the news report about the opening, the car capacity was 436.

A more accurate address is 1011 US Hwy 77a N, Yoakum, TX. This is the address of the “Corner Stop”, a convenience store that sits pretty much where the screen was located.

It also appears that the construction of the airport and Airport Road itself either caused the drive-in to close or it had been closed for some time before.
