From the Oct. 1, 1955 issue of Boxoffice, under the headline “Vandals Push Over Drive-In Posts” The full caption:
Vandals pushed over more than half of the speaker posts at the Riverside Drive-In Theatre, Hill City, Kas., after a recent midnight show. Several teenage boys were responsible. They also tossed a chair to the roof of the snackbar, broke one wire and damaged two speakers. The Riverside is operated by Lily Welty, Rex Welty and Eva Welty Miles, children of J. N. Welty, retired, who started with the Midway Theatre and later built the drive-in. Lily Welty said that prior to this vandalism there was never a speaker stolen. The boys paid for the damage and also surrendered several home privileges for two weeks.
