From what I could find the Edison opened in 1964. Since aerials seem to be appreciated here are a couple aerials from Drive-Ins.com

I never enter a theatre or drive-in without an address. It may take a lot of reserch and time but it is worth it in the end. Then sometimes the address comes up a little off but right in the end.

Shouldn’t this theatre be listed under the name DeAnza Drive-In? That was the last name the Drive-in was called, and i thought that’s how things were listed.

pinfesty, you are right it should be listed by its last name. So the header should say DeAnza Drive-In with aka Stardust, Edison.
