Worked as projectionist there in the late ‘70s. Had Strong 135 amp arc lights and old Century heads running 20 minute reels. Still had the speaker pipes in field run off old bogen tube amp.The projection room floor was impossible to walk across from the concrete being broken.
It did a fair business as a weekend date place. The equipment was in tough shape. Previous people had just so over oiled the lamp housings the carbon rod advance motors were frozen from cooked oil debris.
Had a full concession stand- burgers fries and such.
making this a g-rated comment, visiting the site after a few years-

54 Boundary Line Road maps to the correct address. From a Google aerial view you can still see the ramps in the field.
A 1953 aerial view shows that it hasn’t been built. So it may’ve opened between 1954 and 1955. It was demolished either in the late 1980s or the early 1990s. As of 2018, traces can be still seen.
On July 9, 1978, the original screen was blown by heavy winds.
Found some info! The Boundary Line Drive-In opened its gates in mid-July 1954 featuring an original capacity of 320 cars and the original screen size of 40x52ft. It was first operated by Stinson Deane with the original projectionist being Caribou native Clarence Dow.
