Here is another photo.
From Boxoffice magazine, May 1950:
KANSAS CITY, KAS-The 500-car open air theater being erected on a site at 18th Street and Southwest Boulevard here by Charles Potter, Arthur Burke, Dr. Paul Gatzoulis and associates will be known as the Boulevard Drive-In. Seats for walk-in patrons may be installed if there is a demand for them. The new drive-in is expected to be ready for opening about June 15.
Boxoffice might be wrong about that date.
