They’re going 3D and widescreen at the Gloria Drive-In in 1953 so it’s Uni-Max paint and a revised screen tower

This is from the Better Theatres section of the Oct. 10, 1953 issue of Motion Picture Herald, which should be in the public domain.

The original caption: In preparation for wide-screen projection and also for the showing of 3-D films, the screen tower of the Gloria drive-in at Lima, Ohio, was recently redesigned and rebuilt. Remodeling, as shown in the process of completion above, included enlarging the screen to almost twice its original width and painting it with EPRAD’s “Uni-Max” paint, which is designed for both 2-D and 3-D projection. The work was done by the Theatre Equipment Company, Toledo. The drive-in also installed new Strong projection lamps and generators and new aperture plates. Over 12 other drive-in theatres have been equipped for 3-D by the same company, according to Al Boudouris, president, including the Gratiot at Detroit and the Tower, between Elyria and Lorain, Ohio.
