A closer address is MS-37 & S C Rd 37-I, Taylorsville, Mississippi.

This intersection is about 500 feet northeast of the drive-in location. Which sat on the west side of MS-37.

Thanks, 50sSnipes! The dead giveaway for the site today are the signs that show “Drive-In Lane”: https://goo.gl/maps/iGGa6V4gwkxQZLja8

The drive-in was perfectly positioned against that little pond, which is the only other remnant that I could see today. The closest address I could wring out of Google Maps is 15719 MS-37, Taylorsville, MS 39168, for the Maranatha Mennonite Church about a quarter-mile farther south.

Found it! The theater was located right at the tip of the Covington and Smith County border on MS-37, surrounding with a small lake in Covington County. A 1980 aerial view shows the theater still attached, but was completely gone by 1996, meaning that the theater may’ve demolished in the 1980s.
