The Delmar Drive-In opened April 8, 1950 with Robert Young in “Relentless”. This single screen drive-in had a capacity for 750 cars. The Delmar Drive-In eventually went over to screening adult movies and closed around 1985.
The screen was still standing in 1992, but had been demolished by 2002. The buildings and sign remain.

This was part of the George M. Schwartz Theaters chain in 1981.
Here is a 1976 ad from the Salisbury Daily Times:

Snow White was playing at the Surf Theater.
NOT Demolished. Only the screen is gone. It’s pad and mounting flanges are still there. The marquee, double winged ticket booth and booth/concession stand are all intact and Lavender! Ticket booth and concession stand are surprisingly sound, with just a little roof leakage into concessions (to be expected). Within the projection booth still mounted on the wall, a National Theatre Supply Transverter, part # D-100-3. Googles addresses are jacked up. Best I can figure address for this place is 36922 Bi State BLVD, Delmar, DE 19940. If you wanna see it on Google maps, put in the address 37884
screen is now gone and entrance had on light left to show entrance. Concession and projection room are still there , but have been converted for other business use. Stopped by in March 2012 and property was forsale and vacant.
This opened on April 8th, 1950. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
During its final years of operation, the Delmar screened X-rated films.
Opened on 8th April with 3 color cartoons and “relentless”.
This maps closer to 36942. 36922 is an empty farm field. Can’t seem to get Google maps to pin the exact location.
The screen was still standing in 1992, but long torn down by 2002.
The projection booth/concession stand has a large hole in the roof. The ticket booth is still there, but it has been consumed by bushes.
