The last Humboldt ad I could find in the Eureka Times-Standard was on Dec. 17, 1977. The movies were “One on One” and “Sorceror”. The Dec. 23 ad read No Show This Weekend / “Merry Christmas”

Grand opening was June 27, 1950. The indoor theatre opened November 5, 1953 with “Shane.” Appears to have closed in 1977.

Perhaps March 1953 really was the Humboldt’s “4th grand opening” as its ad in the photo section stated? Boxoffice, Nov. 28, 1953: “HUMBOLDT, CALIF. – A 350-seat auditorium has been added at the Humboldt Drive-In by Meribel Theatres Co. headed by Mary and Walter Bell. The airer, opened in 1950, now will stay open all winter. … In 1950, the Bells opened the Humboldt Drive-In at Alton and the Bel-Air at Eureka.”
