The Hi-Way is already listed in the 1953 Film Daily Yearbook.

IIRC, “The Last Picture Show” was reportedly saved for the end of the farewell evening, as the other eight screens went dark. (In the 90s, Wometco’s Miracle in Coral Gables would end its movie theatre life with the same feature.)

Not in Florida. I saw it at the Golden Glades Drive-In first run.

I thought the original runs of STAR WARS were shown exclusively in “hardtops” and that any drive-in runs didn’t take place until the summer 78 reissue.

“Star Wars,” during its original 1977 run, played here for 24 weeks.

I believe this was the largest drive-in in the country for a while.
