The Starlite Drive-In was opened on June 11, 1948 with Errol Flynn in “The Sea Hawk”. It was the theater in Gloucester City, NJ where my older sister’s dates often took her in the 1960’s. Listed in the 1952 edition of Theatre Catalog as being located on Route 45 at Nicholson Road in Gloucester Heights, it was operated by A. & L. Sablosksky Ent. and Norris Theatres of Norristown, PA. The Starlite Drive-In was closed on October 19, 1980 with Cheech Marin & Tommy Chong in “Cheech and Chong’s Next Movie” & John Belushi in “National Lampoon’s Animal House”.

You could see this theatre from the black horse pike on the way home from Atlantic City.
It was just north of the Brooklawn Circle, I believe.
Heading northbound on Rt130… turn right at Klemm Dr. There is an Apartment complex and the Starlite was located behind the Apartments (Left Side). The property was empty until a few years ago, when a small housing development went in
