A May 3, 1952 note in Motion Picture Herald mentioned that James Totten was (still) running the Lakeview. Although Edward Campbell was a serial drive-in entrepreneur of the region at that time, I haven’t found any mentions of him at the Lakeview. OTOH…

The Exhibitor, July 15, 1953: “William Powars has taken over the operation of the Lakeview Drive-In, Pendleton, Ky., from R. H. Totton (sic?). Powars has been a representative of the Alexander Film Company.”
