John those are some great photos, good find, link
From a Geocities archive, three photos of the Vue Dale, circa 1999: http://www.reocities.com/Hollywood/Pavillion/2216/VueDale.html
I’m not saying the name of the drive-in should change. What I am saying is that it was previously called Auto Vue Drive-In, so there should be an “also known as” added to the heading. Hence the acronym AKA in the prefix.
The article in CWalczak’s comment on 10/6/10 calls it the Vue Dale and a photo of the marquee in the same article says Vue Dale Drive-In.
Heading should be updated to: AKA Auto Vue Drive-In
1956 Motion Picture Almanac calls it the AUTO VUE DRIVE-IN.
The Vue Dale closed for good on October 3, 2010. The property will be sold for redevelopment: View link
According to this article, 2010 will most likely be the last year for this nearly sixty-year-old theater. Its owner, Sun Basin Theatres, is signaling that it plans to close it, along with another theater in East Wenatchee, and open a new megaplex in a converted former Kmart by May of 2011: View link
The Vue Dale Drive-In was built in 1953.
Movie schedule is here. Address should be changed to 1546 S. Wenatchee Avenue
Operated by Greime and Fasken Theaters in the early sixties.
