Dual Highway Drive-In History
The Dual Highway Drive-In in Darlington, South Carolina, opened on September 14, 1949, with Dennis Morgan in My Wild Irish Rose and a cartoon. A dual highway was the term for a divided four-lane road, and the drive-in stood at 1202 South Main Street beside one. It was small, with one screen and parking for about 150 cars.
The opening ad promised two shows a night, in-car speakers and a welcome for the whole family, at 40 cents a head and free for children under 12. C.I. Trueluck owned it. In the late 1950s it was the only drive-in in town.
It was still open in 1960 and gone by 1962, and no closing notice has turned up. The old entrance road is about all that remains.
