  • <p>The Midway Drive-In launched September 8, 1949 with Abbott and Costello in “The Noose Hangs High” along with short subjects.</p>
  • <p>May 6th, 1948 grand opening ad</p>
  • <p>July 17th, 1970</p>
  • <p>July 24th, 1970</p>
  • <p>To me, it looks more like a full-page newspaper ad. At any rate, I found it embedded in a 2015 article at <a href="http://www.ozarksalive.com/barco-drive-in-has-been-lighting-up-the-night-since-1950/">OzarksAlive.com</a>. There’s just no way anyone ever paid to renew the copyright on this ad, so I’m pretty comfortable in assuming it’s in the public domain.</p>

  • <p>From The Indiana Gazette. Copyright has probably lapsed on it, but don’t take my word for it. The correct title for the opening movie is “Second Chorus”.</p>
