The Evergreen Point Drive-In opened its gates on October 25, 1967 with James Coburn in “Waterhole No. 3” and Robert Morse in “Oh Dad, Poor Dad”. It was renamed the Bel-Kirk Drive-In in May 1970, and a second screen was added in 1977.

The Bel-Kirk closed its gates for the final time by SRO Theatres on September 15, 1985. Screen 1 closed with the triple feature of “Superstition”, “Friday The 13th: A New Beginning” and “Nightmares”, and Screen 2 closed with the double feature of “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome” and “National Lampoon’s European Vacation”.

Update: Yes, this theater was built in 1967 by S. F. Burns & Co. By the mid 70’s a second screen was added just above the existing box offices at the entrance. It was managed from 1971 until it closed by Burns’s daughter, Marsele. His son, Jack, was a projectionist at the theater while he attended law school. Burns’s daughter, Raylah, ran the theater supply business for many years. S. F. Burns & Co sold theater supplies to both drive-in’s and indoor theaters throughout the Pacific Northwest.
