The S Main was a one screen. Ushers (me) from the Village theatre used to be paid (maybe 50 cents?) to drive over to the S Main and count the cars to see what the competetion was doing. Usually we just asked the girl in the ticket booth and she told us. We were all teenagers!
The picture above is NOT the South Main!!!
This looks more like an aerial view of the McClendon Triple Drive-In further south on South Main.
According to the aerial view this drive-in at one time must have been converted from 1 screen to three screens.
Listed in the 1956 Motion Picture Almanac The South main parked 4oo cars,so there was no change. It was owned by Interstate Theatres which also owned the Sheppard Drive-in.
The South Main Drive-In is listed in the 1975 IMPA with a capacity for 400 cars. Not listed in 1980.
