The Edison Drive-In opened as the Stardust Drive-In on Saturday, APril 15 with the movies ROOM AT THE TOP and TIGER BAY (with 2 cartoons).
Shouldn’t this theatre be listed under the name DeAnza Drive-In? That was the last name the Drive-in was called, and i thought that’s how things were listed.
Plinfesty, Thanks for the titles. I know some of these movies are probably lost forever i enjoyed reading each one.
Thanks plinfesty.
thanks plinfesty.I wish i had the time to do several theatres and Drive-ins in my city.I enjoy looking at the newspaper ads so much.Some of these titles you wonder if they even exist any more.Thanks I for one enjoyed them.
Site is now a house.
The site looks like an open field to me. You can still see the ramps clearly, but it is demolished.
Boxoffice, April 10, 1961: “J. E. Poynter … said that he and C. E. Langford and associates will open their first Star Dust Drive-In at Bakersfield about May 1.”
1110 Quantico Ave, Bakersfield, CA 93307.
The previous address was across the street AT SOMEONE’S HOUSE!
THIS points directly to the entrance road.
Please update.
A better address is 1118 Quantico Ave, Bakersfield, CA.
This puts it right on the property. The 1110 address is a separate building of the house that sits near the entrance road.
The property is still empty with only the outline, entrance/exit roads, and ramps remaining.
