Weleetka American, July 18, 1957: “The Bar-K drive-in theater will open next Tuesday, July 23, it was announced this week by Mrs. Georgia Kelly, Henryette, owner of the new Weleetka business located just north of town on highway 75 … There will be parking space for 100 cars, each space with its car radio. There will also be a concession stand.”
Weleetka American, Aug. 8, 1957: “Mrs. George Kelley, owner of the Bar-K drive-in theatre, announced that the theatre is now officially open … Due to technical difficulties the theatre was unable to open as scheduled. The opening was delayed until Friday of last week (Aug. 2) while new sound equipment was installed. Since school will begin shortly the theatre will operate on a weekend basis only.”
US 75 & E1150 Road, Weleetka, OK is a possible address.
It is one half mile north of Weleetka on US 75. A 1980 aerial reveals nothing special about the property on the west side, save for what may be a faint outline of a drive in. Today, more homes are on the property.
Again, this is not proof, but that location does fit the description of the property.
