From the 1962 Theatre Catalog (AKA the April 4, 1962 issue of Motion Picture Exhibitor), which I believe is in the public domain. The original caption:
Above photo shows projectionist of the modern North Star Drive-In, Denver, Col. converting one of two new Norelco Universal 70/35mm projectors. With a 135 ft. screen, the North Star is built on terrain that slopes towards the screen providing a natural amphitheatre effect. The two projectors must throw 552 ft. to fill the wide North Star screen with picture. Management of the Wolfsberg Theatre circuit, owners, report that the 70mm picture fills the giant screen with “brilliant” light.
