Thanks for the post card theatre photo. I think the people that owned this drive In also owned the Burl Theatre in Boulder Creek CA also. That cinema building is still in town but now is a pizza place. The Starview never put in a CinemaScope® wide screen because it closed about the time that screens got wide. Now both drive ins around Santa Cruz CA are gone. The old Encina (Starlight) in Santa Cruz space is still around and used for a flea market on Sat/Sun and parking during the week. The candy building and projection booth is still in place.The screen was torn down by the new hospital owners fast as people in town got mad that the place was about to close. The Starview in Boulder Creek CA was my first DI our family went to in the early 1950’s while vacationing in the Santa Cruz mountains. I remember seeing ‘Scared Stiff’ with Martin & Lewis at the Starview.
