Boxoffice, July 10, 1948: “As many outdoor theatres reported terrific business in this area, another ozoner opened its doors. The 600-car Geneva Drive-In was built north of Provo in the fast-growing Orem district by the Superior Amusement Co., headed by Don Clyde, Maurice Miller and Veigh Cummings. The ozoner has a modernistic boxoffice of glass blocks and a restaurant at the entrance.”
Closed on April 4, 1971 with “Cold Turkey” and “Mosquito Squadron”.
The address for this theater is 1360 State St, Orem, UT 84058. This points directly to the entrance road.
Please update.
This one actually opened on July 3, 1948. The feature film was “California” starring Ray Milland.
This opened on July 4th,1948 and closed in 1974. Grand opening ad posted.
Geneva Drive-In was closed approximately 1972-73, and torn down approx. 1973-74. I moved to California and Arizona 1972-74, it was there and open when I left but gone when I returned. You turned in to the theater off of State Street and passed by several businesses; i.e. a grocery store and a store called Grand Central and then entered a lane for the drive-in. The old Orem railroad line passed by the back side of the screen, (the railroad has since been torn out and is now Orem Blvd.).
