The two films seen in the drive-in scene in the movie Grease are(“The Blob”(i think?), a film staring Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin(opening credits of a unnamed movie seen briefly).

I think the exit may have been on Rifle N Street(the arch over it is now gone i think?)?

I think the screen may been gone too. The snack bar and bio box is still there, and the fences and entrance(and exit?) roads and gates. The building on the spot where the screen may have been is possibly part of the Wagin Historical Village? The projectors are now at The Betty Terry Memorial Theatre(formally called Little Gem Theatre) in Wagin.

The SES storeroom closed in 1982 or 1983. The little Gem Theatre opened in 1984.

Now called The Betty Terry Memorial Theatre. The original power station building open in 1914. The second power station building opened in the 1920’s and closed in 1960 and used by the SES(State Emergency Service) as a storeroom until 1981 or 1982. Little Gem opened in 1983 with 100 seats from the Theatre Royal(Boulder, Coolgardie, or Perth), replaced with bigger seats in 1997, so there is now only 76 seats. The projectors came from the old Wagin Drive-in. The website is www.cinematourista.com .

The main entrance was on Rifle N Street. The drive-in site is next to the Wagin Historical Village, which may own the site!!?
