Only information according to a handbill is that it advertised that it was “For Colored Patrons”. Movies on the playbill appeared to be early- to mid-1950’s. The address given on the same handbill is 1 ½ miles west of Lakeland off New Tampa Highway.

This was about a mile north of the Silver Moon drive-in. I upload an aerial of both drive-ins from 1957 from the USGS.

Approx location for this drive-in was around 100 Gober Street, although this street did not exist at the time the theatre was open.
