Glen Cooper opened the Dodge City Drive-In on March 29, 1950. He kicked off the grand opening with a Randolph Scott movie, "The Doolins of Oklahoma". Adult admission was .55 cents and children were admitted free. By 1955, it had been renamed Boot Hill Drive-In, and was operated by Mrs Glen A. Cooper.

Tistletoehead—
I don’t know why I take time to post pictures or information since
you seem to be some kind of an expert.
Of course it showed westerns, cause that is all I cared about as a
boy.
At least I kept everything, and for pleasure for those like you who
know everything I have made available hundreds of pictures for Don’s Flickers.
Check them out, and see how many is real or phony.
If you don’t like westerns, then don’t look, because I don’t look at yours

Panhandle,I am no expert on anything,and how would you know if I do not like Westerns or not?Have a great day Billy.
OK— I am always jumping too quick—my mistake—I only saved western stuff, so that is all about I can ever post—Again Apology Given, and
same to you—have a blest day—
Uploaded an not very sharp photo of the drive-in. It was on Hwy 50 past Matt Down road.
Approx. location for this drive-in is the trailer park off Hwy 50 west of Matt Down. Look for 27th and 28th Avenues.
