Located on State Highway 31 W. and County Road 1144. The Apache Drive-In (Not to be confused with the current Apache Drive-In screening adult movies on the other side of town which has its own page on Cinema Treasures) opened on March 9th, 1957 with Rock Hudson in “Tarza, Son of Cochise” and Elizabeth Taylor in “Rhapsody” the opening featured a big fireworks show. It started to show adult movies full-time in 1977. It was closed in 1980 when the owners decided to relocate to their new Apache Drive-In which gave their customers more privacy when watching adult movies.

Aerial photo and grand opening ad posted.
On Google Maps it maps to: 5721 State Hwy 31 W, Tyler, TX 75709. Comparing it with the 1965 and 1995 in Historic aerials this seems to be right in the middle of the theater. The above address should be changed to match this.
Also opened with “Rhapsody”.
