Boxoffice, May 12, 1958: “Sylvan Leff’s beautiful and modern 750-car Pittsfield Drive-In at Pittsfield, Mass., is being operated this season on lease by Al Daytz of Boston. Daytz, whose brother Mickey, onetime Warner salesman here (in Albany), is associated with him in a buying-booking service and in drive-in projects, has also taken over the Berkshire Drive-In on the other side of Pittsfield and another a nearby Lanesboro.”
Boxoffice, Aug. 18, 1958: “Bob Case, former Kingston city manager … now is at the Pittsfield (Mass.) Drive-In … The Daytz brothers are operating the Pittsfield this season on lease from Sylvan Leff”
Motion Picture Herald of October 13, 1956, said: “Confidence in the expanding future of drive-ins was expressed by Sylvan Leff via the start of construction on an 800-car drive-in at Pittsfield, Mass. He already operates the Black River drive-in, near Watertown; the Town in Watertown; Highland and the Rialto in Utica—and he also sells independent product.”
