I hope “FORT APACHE” was shown there.
I found a ticket stub in the glove box of my 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner when I purchased it in 1999. Anybody know when it closed?

(Flagstaff) Arizona Daily Sun, June 20, 1980: “BISBEE - a Cochise County grand jury has returned indictments in connection with the showing of sexually-oriented films by a Douglas drive-in theater. The indictments named Spring-Wick Corp. of Phoenix, owners Tom Springer and Bruce Wicks, and Hector Delgadillo of Douglas, manager of the Fort Apache Drive-In. They were charged with public display of explicit sexual materials. The indictments Thursday stemmed from the showing of two X-rated films, "Screwpies” and “The Coming of Angels.”
