The Jesup Twin Drive-In opened in 1948 as a single screen theater. The drive-in closed for a few years in the 1960’s and remained closed until 1970 when it re-opened adding a second screen to the 11-acre theater.

According to Bowers' “Encylopedia” pg. 551, there was a “Strand” theatre in Jesup with a Reproduco organ made by the Operators Piano Co. I could not find a page for the Strand so I am putting this here for the time being.
I HAD HEARD THIS TWIN WAS STILL OPEN. IN 1956, JESSUP HAD THE FAMILY DRIVE IN THAT PARKED 300 CARS AND WAS OWNED BY W.P. REGGINS. THIS MUST BE THE SAME DRIVE IN?
Here are two pictures from December 2009.
Car capacity is 250 for one screen and 175 for the other screen with a total of 375. The Drive-In is still open, their website is listed in the Related Websites in the header.
In September 2011 the cinema was closed “temporarily for construction; reopening spring 2012”, according to the sign (see my photograph).
