Found the following while searching the web on the artist Don Clever. Source: Box Office Magazine, Modern Theatre Section (pp. 153-155), did not give date/issue #. “A new drive-in theatre, the El Rancho, opened this spring to accommodate 800 cars and 240 walk-in patrons… The theatre is owned by Arthur Yarimie and Paul R. Catalana… Thirteen acres have been devoted to the development which cost some $250,000 to build and equip. From the screen tower, 80 feet wide and 65 feet high with a 66-foot picture, to the completely equipped concession building and ramp house, the El Rancho provides every conceivable convenience for its patrons… Valuable highway frontage has been used for a drive-in restaurant while a 32-foot attraction board calls attention to the drive-in theatre entrance… Neon lighted for night attraction, the back of the El Rancho screen tower is dramatically decorated with an appropriate western mural by California artist Don Clever. The theatre was built by the owners with Harold Wood supervising construction. Barnard Nobler was the architect.” Sorry but this is all I could pull up.
