Boxoffice, Dec. 10, 1949: “Boise, Ida. - A new 500-car drive-in will be built this winter near the intersection of Highway 30 and Broadway here, according to Milt Fry, one of three local men who filed articles of incorporation for the firm. Others in the enterprise are Joy Naylor, who has an interest with Fry in the Boise Drive-In near the Ada county fairgrounds, and Omer R. Travers, Naylor, who also operated the Riverdale Drive-In at Ogden. Initial cost of the Broadway will be between $40,000 and $60,000, Fry said. The screen will measure 55x42 feet. Contract for grading work has been awarded to Stan Nelson. The Electric Service Co. will handle wiring.”
