From the May 27, 1950 issue of BoxOffice:
WELLINGTON, KAS. – The new 420-car Chisholm Trail Drive-In on Route 160 about one mile east of here recently was opened. The open air theatre was erected and is being operated by Sol Frank, Coldwater, and F. E. Estes, Charles Gregg and J. L. Young, all of Caney.
I wonder where this fits.
