The Roseville Drive-In opened on August 3, 1949, according to a front-page story that day in The Press-Tribune of Roseville. It was located between B and E Streets on 6th Street “on the site formerly considered for a cannery”.
The drive-in had a 16x20-foot screen, could handle 250 cars, and was run by Sandy Sanborn and Ellis Roskelley.
By the time of a July 22, 1954 USGS aerial photo, nothing remained of the drive-in. Today, a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses occupies the site or is across 6th Street from it.

Two industry sources also mentioned the Roseville Drive-In, though its one-and-done appearance in the Theatre Catalog suggests it didn’t last long.
Theatre Catalog, 1949-50: “Roseville Dr. Exec: General Theatre Co. (UNO). (M12-C250-D7)”
Film Daily Year Book, 1950-56: “Roseville: Roseville Drive-In”
