The Elmsford was the only area drive-in, and only one of 12 theaters selected by United Artists as part of the initial “Premiere Showcase” theaters in June 1962. Jerry

It seems in 1969 General Cinema was the operator of the Elmsford.

It indeed was a Premiere Showcase as I saw the first film offered “Road to Hong Kong” at this drive-in. About a few years later, the drive-in got into a lot of trouble with the department store across the street. It seems the theater was now showing nothing but porno and the local parents complained their kids could see it from the department store parking lot across the street.

It is now a Sam’s Club.
