The Oak Hills Drive-In opened in 1951 with a car capacity listed at 400. The drive-in was located just southeast of the Hogle Zoo.
One feature of the drive-in was that residents just south of the drive-in could pay $50.00 for an installation fee for a speaker set up in their home and view the movies from their home. The theatre was owned by Fox Intermountain Theatres.
When the Oak Hills Drive-In closed in 1965 they built the Olympus Drive-In at 5600 South 900 East. The Oak Hills Drive-In was demolished in 1965 for a new subdivision.
Any further information on this drive-in would be appreciated.

The Oak Hills got a lot of national publicity when Life Magazine published a large color photograph showing Charlton Heston in a scene from “The Ten Commandments” with the lights of Salt Lake City spread out in the valley beyond the screen.
Thanks for the story.I had seen that picture before, missinglinc.
The Google map is showing the wrong address coordinates. These are two completely different address locations, not close at all. The Oak Hills was in the foothill area of the east bench in Salt Lake. The other address is south of downtown Sugar House.
correct: 2775 East 1000 South
incorrect: 2818 South 1000 East
