Looking around this small west Texas town, one would never suspect it of ever having had a drive in or walk in theater. The Chief Drive-In was opened by 1951. It was still open in 1957.
Seminole was also home to the Tower Theater, but there is no trace left of either one.

Found it! Approx. location is south of town. Just north of U.S. 385 & County Road 402-K on the east side of the highway. The imprint is still there near the airport.
Billboard, Sept. 15, 1951: “Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Cox Jr. have completed a $5,000 renovation project on their Chief Drive-In at Seminole, Tex.”
The 1952 Theatre Catalog listed the Chief with a capacity of 300 cars, owner Audry Cox.
