Good spotting Kenmore, another location to cross off the list!
I believe I found it. The address is 1481 Harvey Black Ave, Wiggins, MS.
A 1976 aerial shows what appears to be the remains of a drive-in. It’s the right shape and has what appears to be the concession stand/projection booth in the center.
Today, a business is present on property with no trace of the drive-in remaining.

Opened in April 1953.
I do not believe the ridges at the end of Clark Avenue are indications of a drive-in. Topo maps going back to 1949 show the same three houses/buildings present on the property which would be where the screen had to have stood.
So, I do not believe that Clark Avenue is the location of the drive-in. The ridges are something else other than ramps.
Did this drive-in theatre glo in the dark?
I think I found it, it was located at the end of Clark Ave, Wiggins. The ramps can be faintly seen on a 1982 aerial. The concession building my remain but its hard to tell.
During the Winter months the Glo Drive In was open only on Friday and Saturday nights, but during Summer months it was open nightly. Normally the Glo played only a single feature and cartoon. The same owners operated both the Straub Theatre and the Glo Drive In in Wiggins.
