First of three photos in a sidebar next to a drive-in playground story in the Modern Theatre Section of the April 10, 1961 issue of Boxoffice. The original caption:

Youngsters thrill to the Cinderella-like ride in a pumpkin chariot past one of the many unusual fairyland houses in the Motor-Vu Drive-In Theatre playground area, Salt Lake City, while the Wasatch Mountains form a striking background. Owner Eric Peterson established the playground in the theatre’s opening season, 1947, adding to it from time to time. In addition to play equipment shown in the pictures, there are now a small airplane ride, small boats, a train, octopus and pony rides. There is also a small zoo with monkeys and birds.
