Opened with “Body and soul” and “Thunderbolt”.
Boxoffice, Jan. 3, 1977: “Two (Tucson) drive-ins, the Midway and Prince have closed. The owner, Cactus Corp., theatre division, has sold the Midway to P.F. West, a local development firm, for conversion to business use. The Prince is on the selling block.”
This opened on March 27th, 1948. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
Since I grew up near Grant and Country Club, this was the drive-in we went to the most often when I was a kid. Films I remember seeing here include FORBIDDEN PLANET, ANGRY RED PLANET, BORN FREE, and (much later) WILD IN THE STREETS.
