Waxahachie is the country seat for Ellis County so it’s more for that.

Was it named after someone named Ellis?

The marquee was still present in a 2012 Google street view. By 2018, it had been removed. The metal posts which served as the foundation for the marquee are all that remain.

++Copied from the Texas Theatre page (Waxahachie Tx)..

++Chuck1231 – If you type in 1600 Mulkey Road, Waxahachie, Tx in the search box of google-maps, you’ll see the outline of the Ellis Drive In Theatre… Mulkey Road is another name for Bus.Hwy. 287.. On the North-east side of the road, there’s a building (Lower right) that sits right next to the land of where the Ellis Drive In once occupied.++

This is no where near 287-Bypass & Ovilla Rd. Nearest intersection would be Mulkey Rd (Bus-Hwy 287) & Graham Street.. South-Southeast of Graham street..

Address looks to be 1800 Mulkey Rd (Bus-Hwy 287)

Today, the only thing left is the marquee which still stands hidden in the trees. The foundation of the snack bar & projection room is still on the land. Nothing else is left..
