From the Sept. 1, 1951 issue of Motion Picture Herald, which should be in the public domain. The original caption:

The State drive-in at Ukiah, Calif., in the San Francisco sector, is not unique in offering pony rides, but it doubtless carries the pony appeal to greater length than other outdoor theatres. And for good reason. Its owner, George Mann, raises Shetland ponies. Children not only can ride in pony-drawn carts, but they can win a pony, for the miniature steeds are included among give-aways used to attract early patronage. The State of course has many other playground devices for the children, chiefly to attract early attendance for patronago of the refreshment stand. Besides the usual equipment, there is an auto run from a battery at not over seven miles an hour.
