It must be open prior to 1964
1977 Bob Seger’s Night Moves had just come out… The movie The White Buffalo was playing… She was a senior and I was a sophmore…
To clarify….Jolly Roger Drive In was in Cincinnati. the Capital Kidd, which had a lot of local resistance to opening was in Dayton. Both owned by Levin Services.
Nice aerial ken mc,they all look the same from the sky.
Here is a 1968 aerial photo. Drive-ins.com has this theater in Sharonville, which I guess is a suburb of Cincinnati.

Soft Core Sex night at the JOLLY ROGER. Along with the SWINGING CHEERLEADERS is second feature THE CLASS OF ‘74. Third movie is THE STUDENT TEACHERS and to close the night out THE ROOMMMATES all Rated R of course. August 9 1974.
August 9 1974 NOW SHOWING THE SWINGING CHEERLEADERS in a First run in Cincinnati.It was playing Day and date with the RIVERVUE AUTO drive in.
I want to say that for a brief time, this drive-in reopened in the early ‘80’s as the “Captain Kidd” or “Captain Blood,” maybe for only a summer. If it wasn’t this location, it had to be nearby.
Why is there no meation of a Jolly Roger Theater in Kettering, Ohio? It was on the south side of E. David Road.
Used to sneak into Jolly Roger…without a car! We’d have Dad drop us off at the nearby roller skating rink, then dash across I-75 and sneak through the woods and into the Drive-In. Then, we’d look for single young ladies with a car. When entering the NORMAL way, with a car, you’d drive through a little castle-style building where you would pay. That little castle survived the demolition of the Drive-In for a few years; it was easily visible from the highway. Then, it too disappeared, ending all traces of this delightfully themed theater. YARRRGH!!!
