As I went to this movie house as a small boy in the late 40’s and early 50’s to see many a Western B-movie double feature I know that the description is not accurate.
It was only half roofless. The rear, towards the lobby, was covered with padded seats. The open-air front half had wooden seats rather than padded ones. The stage was concrete with what appeared to be a Spanish mission motif with a simulated bell tower,complete with bell. and real palm trees on either side of the stage. It was rumored to originally be Miami’s 1st Drive-in but, I’m not so sure.
