A note on the Circle drive in ,beaumont,texas. My family lived for a few years in the apartment under the screen. Nice to just walk out the back door and there was the screen above your head.It also had a playground and some seats in front of the screen. I forget what year, but there was a fire in the apartment while we were living there and it burnt the apartment and the screen. They installed new screen and remodeled the apartment.
Yes it was a nice movie house. My father Jack R. Butts managed the village theater in the 70s till 1980. Yes the roof caved in during a storm. Who’s afraid of Virginia Wolf was playing and the churches were all up in arms over it. As my father was the manager I got to see movies free. My father also managed The port theater on 9th ave in port arthur,texas before the village theater and The circle drive-in Theater in beaumont,texas before that.Also some time in there he managed The Neches theater in Port neches,texas and The Strand theater in Orange ,Texas.
