M*1944 thanks for sharing this great old photo. Looks like the old screen for flat 1.33 or 1.85 was made of bricks then they added a wood wing for CinemaScope® in the 1954 time frame. The sold thick old screen tower probably withstood many storms but the wood wings may not have done so well in a big Texas storm. It was way cheaper for so many of these Drive In’s to keep the old square screen and just add sides for a scope movie. Thanks again.
This is a cropped verstion of a 1979 photo by John Margolies which is part of the John Margolies Roadside America photograph archive of the Library of Congress. The original is effectively in the public domain.
