Early 50’s…my best friend lived near the Del Norte. In the summer when we had nothing to do and no money to do it, we would go around to the back of the theater and climb over the gate. Then sit in the play ground in front of the screen and watch the movie. Sometimes we would have 10 cents for popcorn.
From that photo it looks like construction was still going on even though the marquess announces Gran Opening.

Here is a photo of the Del Norte Drive-In.
Was located on this large lot. Screen was parallel and close to Dyer St.

Should be a flea market in the retail store parking lot on weekends, the retail store appears to have been closed long ago.
I spent a lot of time there as a kind in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Had a small playgound under the screen.
Information for this theatre was obtained from the book “The Old Movie Theatres of Texas”.
