I’m about 99% sure the Gateway Drive-in listed in Worcester, MA was a fast food drive-in, not movies. Its location was near 1059 Grafton Street, Worcester, MA.

Just tried to upload the “Rialto Video” but this web site said try again in future. Should someone want to see location go to google earth plug in “45 Millbury st, worcester, ma”, then click on “street view” and pan around.

The Rialto Theatre was located at 45 to 41 Millbury street corner of Carpenter street as shown on a 1922 map of Worcester, MA. It is not shown at that location on a 1911 map of Worcester. I can remember going to the Rialto in 1948 as a 5 year old, Mom would take me faithfully on the weekends as the Rialto would give away dishes and she wanted to collect the whole set. I’m attemping to upload a 2008 google street view of the location, it shows a “Rialto Video” at the Millbury street location.
