After driving through nothing but the rural farmlands of Mississippi,
the 100 x 75 foot screen of the Beverly Drive-In in Hattiesburg
is a sight for sore eyes. The twin screen theater opened on May 29th,
1948. It suffered several closings during 1987 until it went under for
good. In 2001 it was reopened and is being leased from the daughter on

in blinking patterns on the backside which faces Route 49 and remnants
of a miniature golf course are visible. The Beverly parks 500 cars.

Here's another screen tower and snack bar at an Arkansas Drive-in.

motorists.
