Looks like about 2-3 blocks away was another drive-in, just over half the size…

Sam, that other drive-in was the Starlite, billed on the screen tower as “Southwest’s Finest For Colored Americans.”

Billy, Billy, or Don – if the King was a twin, where was the second screen?

Matt, go to my link in the 2nd post, and click on 1979 tab on the right. You’ll see it then.

Status of this theatre should be changed to “closed/demolished.”

This Drive In was Twinned sometime between 1972 & 1979. The original screens backside faced Lamar. When you drove in, the 2nd screen was on the back, right side of the field. Wonder if this was done when the Starlite was either failing in business or closed…
