This opened as the Cumberland Drive-In theatre on October 14th, 1952 “for White only” and reopened as the Jet Drive-In on August 28th, 1953. Grand opening ad posted. Could this have been opened to “Colored” patrons before October 1952 under a different name?

The Jet Drive-In closed sometime in the 1960s. Both its traces and the projection booth remained for decades until the 1990s.
