Owned by Audrey Cox, the Yucca was a short lived drive in that was around for approximately eight years from 1948-1956.

This is an ad showing the Yucca Drive-In. Its from around 1955.

My photograph showing swings in playground along with what was left of the screen about 20 years ago.

Ironic that there is a fireworks ad underneath Yucca's "The Seven Little Foys" promo. The Foy's are who were performing at Chicago's Garrick Theatre when it burned killing many who were trapped.

This drive-in was still listed in the 1967 IMPA.

The Yucca Drive-In is still listed in 1975.

To correct my earlier post, it was not the Garrick Theatre but Chicago's Iroquois Theatre that burned while the Foy's were performing in the early 1900's.

Car capacity was 300.

Lost Memory, your post on Sept 20th, 2005 looks like an ad for the Yucca theatre (not drive-in). The showtimes gives it away.

Didn't it get dark early back in the 1950s? LOL

Nice catch Mike. Would you know if that ad is for the Yucca in Midland, Texas?

I would think so. The El Rancho, Ritz, Tower and Yucca are all listed in Midland on Cinematour's site...
