Opened with “Three for the show” and “Wyoming renegades”.
From the Nov. 5, 1955 Motion Picture Herald:
C. K. Cargile, manager-owner with the Harry L. Nace circuit, has re-opened the Sands drive-in near Mesa, Ariz., complete with a new tower. Two months ago, shortly after the drive-in opened for the first time, a freak desert wind storm flattened the screen structure.
May 12th, 1955 grand opening ad in photo section.
Screen did not last long:
