Here is a short cut to a web site with complete historical data and photos of every drive-in theatre ever built in Tulsa,

The Bellaire opened in 1953 by L.E. Snyder (Family Theatres). Tulsa Engineering did the original layout and dirt work. The original screen tower was blown over in the late 60’s and was replaced. The original tower was a duplicate of the one used at the Apache drive-in theatre in Tulsa.
This theatre was never demolished as stated above. It was later twinned and renamed Admiral Drive-In Twin Theatres, and is still operating to this day.
Rodney, I believe that the Admiral Drive-In later the Admiral Twin Drive-In was originally known as the Modernaire Drive-In located at 7355 E. Easton, the Bellaire Drive-In was located at 705 W. 51st Street.
