The 1963 motion picture almanac lists Alliance Amusement theaters in Peru as the Peru Drive-In, the Wallace, the Roxy and the Miami Open Air Drive-In. The Eastwood was not an Alliance theater, obviously, but this gives you an idea of the different theaters in Peru in the early sixties, before the Eastwood became the only show in town.

In 1963, the Capitol was part of Alliance Amusements, a large Chicago chain. Besides the Capitol, Alliance also ran the Liberty, Roxy and Sky-View Drive-In in Walla Walla.

The Jefferson was part of Alliance Amusement Co. in the early sixties. This chain, headquartered in Chicago, operated numerous theaters in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Washington. In Fort Wayne alone, Alliance ran the Jefferson, Embassy, Lincolndale Drive-In, East 30 Drive-In, Ft. Wayne Drive-In and Northcrest Drive-In. President of Alliance in 1963 was S.J. Gregory.
